    Description

    This Companion provides a systematic introductory overview of Richard Rorty's philosophy. With chapters from an interdisciplinary group of leading scholars, the volume addresses virtually every aspect of Rorty's thought, from his philosophical views on truth and representation and his youthful obsession with wild orchids to his ruminations on the contemporary American Left and his prescient warning about the election of Donald Trump. Other topics covered include his various assessments of classical American pragmatism, feminism, liberalism, religion, literature, and philosophy itself. Sympathetic in some cases, in others sharply critical, the essays will provide readers with a deep and illuminating portrait of Rorty's exciting brand of neopragmatism.

    • Provides a comprehensive overview of Richard Rorty in accessible language
    • Includes an interdisciplinary cast of scholars, demonstrating the wide-ranging nature of Rorty's thought
    • Gives an account of Rorty's philosophical formation, with essays on his influences from classical American pragmatism, empiricist philosophy, and liberal political philosophy
