In "Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature" Richard Rorty presented his vision of post-philosophical culture, calling upon professional philosophers to accept that epistemology is dead, that the analytic method is a myth, and that philosophy and science are merely forms of literature. This volume is an examination of the conclusions drawn by Richard Rorty. Discussions, by philosophers such as W.V. Cline, Donald Davidson, Bernard Williams, Charles Taylor, John Yolton and Martin Hollis, cover Rorty's views on truth, language, knowledge and the self, together with his pragmatism, his "continental turn" and his regard for the literary potential of philosophical writing.

In this volume, leading philosophers including W. V. Quine, Donald Davidson, Bernard Williams, Charles Taylor, John Yolton, and Martin Hollis, take up Rorty's challenge and examine the grounds for his radical conclusions. Their wide-ranging and penetrating discussions cover Rorty's views on truth, language, knowledge and the self, together with his pragmatisim, his 'continental turn' and his regard for the literary potential of philosophical writing. Reading Rorty is the most thorough analysis yet of the man whom Harold Bloom has described as 'the most interesting philosopher in the world.''. N° de réf. du vendeur 510643
