Summary
The feel-good place to buy books
Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature by Richard Rorty
Argues that philosophers developed an unhealthy obsession with the notion of representation. This book reenergizes pragmatism as an intellectual force, steered philosophy back to its roots in the humanities, and helps to make alternatives to analytic philosophy a serious choice for young graduate students.
This is an ambitious and important bookAmbitious because it attempts to place the main concerns and discussions of contemporary philosophy within a historical perspective; important because this is all too rarely attempted within our present philosophical culture, and almost never done this well.
