Abstract

In Section III of his paper H. Putnam¹ deals with Reichenbach's attempt to interpret quantum mechanics on the basis of a three-valued logic, and he uses some arguments of his own in order to show that this attempt is "a move in the direction of simplifying the whole system of laws' (104). I believe that the Reichenbach-Putnam procedure cannot be defended and that it leads to undesirable consequences.
