Description
Alan R. Malachowski provides an authoritative overview of Richard Rorty's considerable body of work and its impact within philosophy and beyond.
Rorty's philosophical project challenges the traditional ambitions of systematic philosophy, instead advocating for a more pragmatic and conversational approach. This challenge has far-reaching implications across various disciplines, leading to new avenues of inquiry and contesting received self-images in the process.
The book examines Rorty's ideas in depth, tracing their development from early papers to his major works, including "Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature" and "Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity". It also explores the political and cultural impact of his writings on fields such as feminism, literary theory, and international relations.
