• W224739258 abstract "Richard Rorty was born in New York October 4, 1931 and died June 8, 2007 in Palo Alto. He was the son of James and Winifred Rorty. His maternal grandfather was the famous Social Gospel Theologian, Walter Rauschenbush. According to his account in Achieving Our Country (1998), Rorty grew up on the anti-communist reformist Left in mid-century. that circle, Rorty writes, American patriotism, redistributionist economics, anticommunism, and Deweyean pragmatism went together easily and naturally. At the precocious age of 15 he went to the University of Chicago. He stayed to complete a M.A. in philosophy where he studied with Richard McKeon, Rudolf Carnap, and Charles Hartshorne. He wrote a thesis Whitehead directed by Hartshorne. From 1952 to 1957 he was at Yale where he wrote a dissertation, Concept of Potentiality under the supervision of Paul Weiss, the founder of the Review of Metaphysics. At Chicago and Yale, Rorty received a rigorous training in the history of philosophy and was introduced to the speculative metaphysical tradition represented by Whitehead, Hartshorne, and Weiss. It was only during his last years at Yale that he began seriously reading philosophy. Initially, Wilfrid Sellars who captured his imagination and changed his philosophic direction. Later he read W.V.O. Quine and became a devotee of Donald Davidson. After serving two years in the army, he joined the Wellesley faculty in 1958; he was invited to Princeton in 1961. During the sixties and seventies, Rorty wrote a remarkable series of papers dealing with the mind-body problem, incorrigibility, and the viability of transcendental arguments. These papers, together with his stunning introduction to The Linguistic Turn (1967), fostered his reputation as one of the leading philosophers of his generation. In 1979, he was elected president of the Eastern Division of the A.P.A. But a close reading of Rorty's analytic articles suggests that something else was going on: a note of skepticism and irony enters into these works. This ironic skepticism became fully explicit in his provocative and widely discussed Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature (1979)--now translated into more than a dozen languages. The first two parts deconstruct the fundamental background assumptions of philosophy, which Rorty traces back to the Cartesian-Lockean-Kantian legacy. Written in an style, the book criticizes the philosophic idea of representation as a mental mirroring of the world. In a key chapter Rorty argues that if we follow out the consequences of the thinking of Sellars and Quine, then the very foundations of philosophy crumble. Many philosophers were outraged by what Rorty was doing: using techniques to undermine the very idea of philosophy. And many philosophers outside the tradition were delighted with his critique of philosophy and with his sympathetic discussion of continental philosophers, including Heidegger, Gadamer, Sartre, and Derrida. …" @default.
