Description
Richard Rorty's Pragmatism as Anti-Authoritarianism is his final statement on pragmatism, offering a culmination of his philosophical and political views. In this work, Rorty identifies anti-authoritarianism as the core impulse and virtue of pragmatism, arguing that our cultural inheritance is open to revision due to the absence of absolute authority. Rorty's approach emphasizes the importance of trust, acknowledging the need to consider others' perspectives and be open to their doubts and objections. He draws on a range of thinkers, from John Stuart Mill to Annette Baier, to illustrate his vision for pragmatism as a practical and accessible philosophy. This book provides an accessible account of Rorty's utopian vision for pragmatism, challenging traditional notions of social justice. Hardcover, 256 pages, published in 2021.
