At least since Philosophy and Social Hope, but certainly well before then, Rorty has been one of the precious few eminent social critics and commentators whose thoughts are always conveyed with philosophical sophistication and supreme literary stylization. This is the kind of book that, unlike so many others today, truly deserves to be talked about, debated, and reviewed everywhere." --Drucilla Cornell, Rutgers University<br>"Rorty is an extraordinarily important and influential philosopher, both inside and outside philosophy. His thoughtful political and social views are worth presenting in interview format . . . . Many of the interviews here are otherwise inaccessible, making this collection invaluable." --Samuel C. Wheeler III, University of Connecticut<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The United States has produced a great many idiosyncratic champions of human freedom, Walt Whitman and William James above all. It is time to recognize Rorty's place in that lineage.--<i>Dissent</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Richard Rorty is Professor of Comparative Literature at Stanford University.
