About This Item
Rorty's best-known work, widely considered one of the most important philosophical works of the 20th century. Rare thus.
Synopsis
Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature is a famous and controversial work by American philosopher Richard Rorty. In this book, Rorty attempts to dissolve so-called philosophical problems instead of solving them by showing that they are in fact pseudo-problems that only exist in the language-game of Analytic philosophy. In a pragmatist gesture, Rorty claims that philosophy must get past these pseudo-problems if it is to be productive.
