i meant to post this yesterday for book review tuesday but i had a busy busy day with the jaw doctor sorry guys
philosophy and hope richard rorty
i feel like this one is really hard to review because it’s a collection of essays and speeches with many different themes and i feel like to accurately give my opinion i’d have to go on philosopher mode and respond to many different points and break down so many ideas. the main ideas are pragmaticism and what a lot of people would call “relativism”, but rorty hates being associated with that word. as always with rorty i found myself agreeing more than i disagree but getting very angry when i disagree haha. id recommend if you’re familiar with philosophy and enjoy reading dense stuff, but if not you’ll hate this. between rereading, thinking, and googling, it takes me about an hour to read 10-20 pages of this 7.5/10
