Richard Rorty is one of the most oft-cited yet least understood
philosophers of the twentieth century. This book offers an overview
and introduction to Rorty's ideas, key writings and contributions
to the various fields of philosophy. Chronologically organized, the
book traces the development of Rorty's thought and examines all the
key topics, and controversies, central to his work. Ronald A.
Kuipers introduces Rorty's complex thought through the exploration
of three Rortyan personas: The Philosophical Therapist, The Liberal
Ironist, and the Anticlerical Prophet. This exploration of Rorty's
multivalent yet deeply coherent intellectual identity is set
against the background of Rorty's personal motivations for studying
philosophy, and for pursuing the controversial questions he did.
The book portrays how, in conversation with the traditions of
American Pragmatism, Analytic Philosophy, and Continental Thought,
Rorty weaves his own unique and original philosophy. Rorty's
originality resides in his fresh approach to interrelated social
and political problems, revealing a thinker who has important
reasons for wading into controversial intellectual waters. This is
the ideal companion to study of this hugely influential thinker.
