Description

A provocative figure in recent philosophical, literary and cultural debate, Richard Rorty has sustained an influential attack on the methods and temper of conventional "systematic" philosophy. Rorty has argued that one's understanding of truth and value is essentially, historically and culturally contingent, and so philosophical discussion should aim to an open and edifying debate, not a systematic and final presentation of timeless truths. The book includes his most influential work along with some more polemical and less strictly philopophical essays.

Author Biography:

Richard Rorty is Professor of Comparative Literature at Stanford University. He is the author of PHILSOPHY AND THE MIRROR OF NATURE, CONTINGENCY, IRONY AND SOLIDARITY, and ACHIEVING OUR COUNTRY.
