Richard McKay Rorty's "neo-pragmatism" launched a powerful challenge to entrenched philosophical and pre-philosophical certainties of modernity, allowing us to articulate the powerful picture of normativity as a distinctive exercise and activity of human beings. The book is a critical survey of his philosophy, in the light of various theoretical arguments as well as of his own resourceful attempts to renew philosophy from within its practice by using the conceptual tools and argumentative techniques of both analytic philosophy and pragmatism"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a From pragmatism to analytic philosophy and vice versa -- Linguistic pragmatism -- Truth and justification -- Historicism and the aesthetic challenge -- Knowing ourselves and recognizing others -- Contingency and normativity.
