| Apr 6, 2022 at 16:43 | comment | added | Just Some Old Man | @MauroALLEGRANZA Susan Haack dedicated a remarkably large portion of her career to supply evidence, in detail, about Rorty being a fraud. He has the reputation of essentially being a postmodern troll among many other analytic philosophers. His claim he represented any kind of pragmatism is controversial. | |
| Apr 6, 2022 at 14:51 | comment | added | Mauro ALLEGRANZA | At this level of approximation... the notion that "words get their meaning based on how they're used" [pragmatism] and that culture and "grand narratives" produced meaning are not so different. The way that "words are used" is cultural and historical. | |
| Apr 6, 2022 at 14:23 | comment | added | Just Some Old Man | Rorty founded neopragmatism is more accurate, but to call him a pragmatist in any sense is already stretching it. I refer you to Susan Haack. One cannot choose one’s own identity by fiat as he seemed to do. | |
| Apr 6, 2022 at 14:17 | comment | added | Mauro ALLEGRANZA | See Rorty: "the distinctive and controversial brand of Rorty's pragmatism... Rorty has sought to integrate and apply the milestone achievements of Dewey, Hegel and Darwin in a pragmatist synthesis of historicism and naturalism." Thus, Hegel and historicism are "common sources". | |
