Article Title:Richard Rorty: Philosophy by other means
Abstract:
Richard Rorty's argumentative strategy variously termed pragmatist, postmodernist, and postphilosophical is examined in some detail in the context of his treatment of philosophical issues in general and of the views of other philosophers in particular, for instance, Putnam, Davidson, Quine, Sellars, Dennett, and Frazer. Attention is paid particularly to the compatibility between pragmatist, analytic, and postmodernist modes of argument; Rorty's redescriptions of alternative philosophical views; and the philosophical import of Rorty's abandonment of philosophical argument.
