No book offers a more accessible account of Rorty’s utopia of pragmatism, just as no philosopher has more eloquently challenged the hidebound traditions arrayed

against the goals of social justice.

“In this final book, [Rorty’s] unique literary style,

singular intellectual zest, and demythologizing defiance of official philosophy are on full display.”
