When it first appeared in 1979, Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature
hit the philosophical world like a bombshell. In it, Richard Rorty
argued that, beginning in the seventeenth century, philosophers
developed an unhealthy obsession with the notion of representation:
comparing the mind to a mirror that reflects reality. Rorty's book
is a powerful critique of this imagery and the tradition of thought
that it spawned. Today, the book remains a must-read and stands as
a classic of twentieth-century philosophy. Its influence on the
academy, both within philosophy and across a wide array of
disciplines, continues unabated. This edition includes new essays
by philosopher Michael Williams and literary scholar David
Bromwich, as well as Rorty's previously unpublished essay "The
Philosopher as Expert."
