About this title

Review

'This volume is Rorty at his best, again and again making us see things from a new, unexpected angle, strenuously engaging with those of us who resist his startling and unsettling 'take' on things. Convinced or not, you come away feeling that this is what philosophy ought to be doing, steadily extending the range of imaginable thoughts.' Charles Taylor

'Truth and Progress, the third volume of Richard Rorty's philosophical papers, can be recommended not only to Rorty's admirers and to those who regard him as a leading enemy of reason but to anyone who wants to get a sense of a significant intellectual phenomenon.' Thomas Nagel, The Times Literary Supplement

Book Description

The volume complements two highly successful previously published volumes of Richard Rorty's philosophical papers: Objectivity, Relativism, and Truth, and Essays on Heidegger and Others. The essays in this volume engage with the work of many of today's most innovative thinkers, touch on problems in contemporary feminism, and consider issues connected with human rights and cultural differences.
