Produktbeschreibung

Richard Rorty's collected papers, written during the 1980s and now published in two volumes, take up some of the issues which divide Anglo-Saxon analytic philosophers and contemporary French and German philosophers. In this volume Rorty offers a Deweyan account of objectivity as intersubjectivity.
