"Neil Gascoigne provides the first comprehensive introduction to the work of Richard Rorty. He demonstrates to the general reader and to the student of philosophy alike how the radical views on truth, objectivity, and rationality expressed in Rorty's widely read essays on contemporary culture and politics derive from his earliest work in the philosophy of mind and language. He avoids the partisanship that characterizes much discussion of Rorty's work whilst providing a critical account of some of the dominant concerns of his thought." "By returning him to his philosophical roots, Gascoigne shows why Rorty's pragmatism is of continuing relevance to anyone interested in ongoing debates about the nature and limits of philosophy, and the implications these debates have for our understanding of what role the intellectual might play in contemporary life. This book serves as both an excellent introduction to Rorty's work and an innovative critique that contributes to ongoing debates in the field."--Jacket.
