Abstract
Philosopher Hilary Putnam calls himself a scientific realist for a number of reasons, including his contention that there's no serious difference in the reality status of scientific objects and common sense objects. Even with respect to observability, Professor Putnam states that he doesn't believe there is a fundamental difference between observing something with the aid of an instrument and observing it solely with the eye.
