ABSTRACT
In the central second section of this paper I shall discuss Hilary Putnam's move from a certain version of alethic anti-realism to alethic realism. After outlining his interim position and rehearsing his reasons for leaving it behind I shall add, in the final section, a kind of epistemic blindspot argument which refutes all varieties of alethic anti-realism at one stroke. Or so I would like to think.
