Gathering together key essays from over four decades of writings, the volume offers an in-depth introduction to the philosopher's life and prolific body of work. Topics addressed include the continuities and transformations that span Rorty's early training in the history of philosophy, his engagement with the analytic tradition, and the 1979 publication that brought him international renown. Particular attention is devoted to his later political writings, including his turn to literature as the vehicle of moral reflection most suitable to democratic life, and his embrace of philosophy as cultural politics. <p>With selections from <i>The Linguistic Turn</i> (1967)<i>, Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature</i> (1979)<i>, Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity</i> (1989)<i>, </i> <i>Achieving Our Country</i> (1998)<i>, </i> and his four volumes of philosophical papers, including <i>Philosophy as Cultural Politics</i> (2007), as well as in-depth interviews and revealing autobiographical pieces, <i>The Rorty Reader</i> offers a compelling and representative view of Rorty's relationship with American pragmatism and the overall intellectual trajectory of his philosophical and political thought.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Christopher J.
