  • I like Rorty and love his writing, his brilliance as a writer and communicator of profound philosophical ideas, but I don't know about his view of truth..

  • @BenNCM

    I'm in tears.

  • @MMDC2001 You're right. You pretend that you're not a moron, and fail miserably in the process.

  • I love everything about Rorty. Especially the way he stifles his smiles.

  • I thought only we brazilians had this horrible habit: to coment before to read something about the issue comented. There are idiots in every place.

  • You americans, are awsome! Greate comedians! Rorty an idiot...? That's the best I've ever heard. Go to read more books, you "acéfalos".

  • @MMDC2001 If Rorty was an idiot, then you and I my friend, and the other 5.999999999999999 billion people out there are complete f**kin retards.

  • @MMDC2001 can you prove this with absolute certainty?

  • @kenseavert

    Well, I'm not a philosopher and I don't have "a" philosophy. But the truth is: I DO NOT PRETEND to be a philosopher as Rorty does.

  • @MMDC2001 Well i guess i would say that most people do not think of what they call truth as a justified belief, they "know" it as "the way things actually are" . So the difference is more than the words, IMO truth is a created concept or framework that you can impose on anything if you so choose, like mathematics. Don't misunderstand me though, for I know little of the philosophy of Rorty and so would not defend it and even less of yours to attack you.
