For a start there are some factual errors. I will get around to fixing it, but in the mean time don't believe it! (Eg. The Priority of Democracy to Philosophy was NOT in Consequences of Pragmatism; it was in Objectivity, Relativism and Truth).

Also it doesn't really explore many substantive points and arguments he has made over his long career.

I have removed the following

In Daniel Dennett's humorous Philosophical Lexicon , 'Rorty' is defined as 'incorrigible'^[1] , which sums up both Rorty's career and much of the philosophic community's reaction to it.

I have done so because in Rorty and His Critics, Dennett explicitly says this definition referred to Rorty's early discussion of the incorrigibility of first person accounts of the mental; it has nothing (or little, at least) to do with Dennett's opinion of Rorty's career. Interestingly Rorty has a full three separate entries in the Lexicon: a rortiori - for more fashionable, continental reasons; ameliorortate - to complicate the discussion by bringing in distinctions and observations made by philosophers in a neglected tradition (a reference to Rorty's injection of pragmatist and continentalist philosophical distinctions into mainstream analytical philosophy); and finally 'rort' - an incorrigible report (as above, alluding to his work on philosophy of mind), or a piece of fashionably confused nonsense. "Don't talk rort." ~~

I don't think he did. Rather, he thought the analytic style of philosophy had outlived most of its usefulness. —Preceding unsigned comment added by illuminatingvision (talk • contribs)

Looks as though someone uploaded another picture. I figured I'd post it here just in case anyone wants to put it into the article.

Seriously, what's with this redirect? It's just one person, a non sequitur. 83.255.116.83 (talk) 22:35, 2 March 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
