Beskrivning

For better or worse, Rorty has shaped the trajectory of academic philosophy. A decade after his passing, his legacy is ever present, especially in context of the growth of the far right, the struggle over the meaning of justice and equity, and the ecological crises we face. Edited by Randall Auxier, Eli Kramer, and Krzysztof Piotr Skowronski, Rorty and Beyond brings together leading international philosophers from the United States and Europe to reevaluate Rorty’s legacy and explore what lies beyond his life and work. This collection covers a diverse territory, exploring Rorty’s legacy regarding theories of truth, accounts of nature and naturalism, the historical situation of professional philosophy, the private and public aspects of religion, the place of literature in cultural politics, and points beyond Rorty, such as what we may hope for after his critical attack on certainty and ultimacy. Scholars, specialists, and those new to Rorty will all find insight, useful criticism, and edification in this volume.

Recensioner i media

This rich collection of essays not only demonstrates Rorty's lasting influence in virtually all fields of philosophy and more general cultural discussion but also makes a serious contribution to philosophical and post-philosophical inquiry both in dialogue with and moving 'beyond' Rorty, transforming Rortyan neopragmatism into a 'post-Rortyan' on-going conversation. Some of the best experts on Rorty and pragmatism explore Rortyan and post-Rortyan topics such as secularism, social hope, normativity, naturalism, ethnocentrism, (anti)representationalism, and truth, as well as philosophical engagements with literature and politics. This book considerably widens our horizon of pragmatism, no matter whether we admire Rorty or criticize him.
