![]() With selections from his final volume of philosophical papers, Philosophy as Cultural Politics (2007), interviews, and autobiographical pieces, The Rorty Reader provides the fullest picture of Rorty’s relation to American pragmatism and overall intellectual trajectory of his thought available to date. Of interest to students and scholars, The Rorty Reader offers an in-depth introduction to Rorty’s life and work that outlines the continuities and changes that span his early training in the history of philosophy, his engagement with the analytic tradition, the thoroughgoing critique of the Cartesian-Kantian tradition that brought him international renown in Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature, as well as his later more explicitly political writings and embrace of literature as the vehicle of moral reflection most suitable to democratic life. The first comprehensive collection of the work of Richard Rorty (1931-2007), this volume brings together the influential American philosopher’s essential essays from over four decades of writings.
