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..
@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.

@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".

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.
