This is a question about Hilary Putnam's twin earth thought experiment.
After I read this thought experiment I was not convinced that Oscar's and twin-Oscar's "water" concept have different meanings. But most of the philosophers' intuitions are similar to Putnam (i.e., they think that Oscar's and twin-Oscar's "water" concept have different meanings). I thought that there might be something wrong with me. So I told this thought experiment to different people with different origins but without exception all of them responded that both Oscar's and twin-Oscar's "water" concept have the same meaning.
So I still do not understand, why do so many philosophers' intuitions work like Putnam's?
Thank you,
Deniz
