Voparil gets it right. Rorty is a pragmatist -- he says what needs to be said to bring about what needs to be brought about

This is what interviews should be like. You're providing a great resource. Wonderful questions. Great accent.

Thanks, both of you, for this insightful discussion of Rorty's relevance for politics and philosophy. Your final commentary on his implications for building solidarity in the "post-truth" era feels especially important.

Thanks a lot, Mike! This was also a treat for me, while working through the Rorty chapters in 'Deconstruction and Pragmatism.'

Great conversation! Thank you for bringing it. I can really recommend Voparils book ”Reconstructing Pragmatism” . And also ”the Rorty Reader” which he edited with Richard J Bernstein. It was great to hear him talk of hermeneutic charity, something that Bernstein was into. We should put more of that into practice . Cheers
