This book features fourteen original essays that critically engage
the philosophy of Richard Rorty, with an emphasis on his ethics,
epistemology, and politics. Inspired by James' and Dewey's
pragmatism, Rorty urged us to rethink the role of science and truth
with a liberal-democratic vision of politics. In doing so, he
criticized philosophy as a sheer scholastic endeavor and put it
back in touch with our most pressing cultural and human needs. The
essays in this volume employ the conceptual tools and argumentative
techniques of analytic philosophy and pragmatism and demonstrate
the relevance of Rorty's thought to the most urgent questions of
our time. They touch on a number of topics, including but not
limited to structural injustice, rule-following, Black feminist
philosophy, legal pragmatism, moral progress, relativism, and
skepticism. This book will be of interest to a wide range of
scholars across disciplines who are engaging with the work of
Richard Rorty.
