On Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature (1979), Part II: &quot;Mirroring&quot; (Ch. 3–4).

Is a &quot;theory of knowledge&quot; possible? Rorty says that while of course psychology has interesting things to say, any specifically philosophical effort is doomed. Why? Because there is no fixed point outside of the &quot;knowledge language game&quot; that provides an ultimate grounding.

Rorty draws on Sellars (ep. 154) to say t...

Writing after the revolution but before the terror, Burke was alarmed at intellectual fads in England that paid homage to the principles driving what happened in France: the right of people to choose their own government, to elect their leaders, and depose those that violate citizens&#39; rights. So, given that these principles have won the day, w...
