Consequences of Pragmatism Essays 1972-1980 by Richard Rorty (Paperback Book)

University of Minnesota Press

Rorty seeks to tie philosophy's past to its future by connecting what he sees as the positive (and neglected) contributions of the American pragmatic philosophers to contemporary European developments. What emerges from his explorations is a revivified version of pragmatism that offers new hope for the future of philosophy.\""Rorty's dazzling tour through the history of modern philosophy, and his critical account of its present state (the best general introduction in print), is actually an argument that what we consider perennial problems--mind and body, consciousness and objects, the foundations of knowledge, the fact/value distinction--are merely the dead-ends this picture leads us into.\"" Los Angeles Times Book Review\""It can immediately be said that Consequences of Pragmatism must be read\n\nConsequences of Pragmatism\nEssays 1972-1980\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note that th;
