Product Description

Objectivity, Relativism, and Truth: Philosophical Papers (Richard Rorty: Philosophical Papers Set 4 Paperbacks) (Volume 1)

Used Book in Good Condition

In this volume Rorty offers a Deweyan account of objectivity as intersubjectivity, one that drops claims about universal validity and instead focuses on utility for the purposes of a community. The sense in which the natural sciences are exemplary for inquiry is explicated in terms of the moral virtues of scientific communities rather than in terms of a special scientific method. The volume concludes with reflections on the relation of social democratic politics to philosophy.
