Richard Rorty: democracia, contingencia y verdad

Autor: Juan José Ramírez

Número de Páginas: 235

"La prioridad de la democracia sobre la filosofía" implica una comunidad liberal que ofrece a sus ciudadanos todo el espacio posible para que desarrollen sus proyectos privados. Lo que esta comunidad requiere de esos proyectos es que reconozcan su privacidad no obstaculizando los planes alternativos de otros ciudadanos. En la medida en que se pueda constatar la convivencia de múltiples y diversos proyectos privados, se dejará de insistir en la justificación de los intereses propios para ejercer algún tipo de dominación sobre los demás. En esta comunidad la cuestión no es cómo conseguir que los seres humanos vivan de acuerdo con la naturaleza, sino cómo lograr que vivan con gente que tiene nociones distintas acerca del sentido de la vida humana. En este contexto, la filosofía, una disciplina académica que tradicionalmente se ha atribuido la capacidad de señalar el verdadero aspecto del mundo y la orientación de las acciones humanas, deviene, para un filósofo edificante, en un instrumento conversacional que permite diseñar de un modo no violento nuestro mundo y nuestras acciones. Se trata de un género literario que se libera del embrujo epistemológico y del...

La filosofía latinoamericana como política cultural. Un diálogo con Richard Rorty y Raúl Fornet-Betancourt

Autor: Oliveira Neto, Aristinete Bernardes

Número de Páginas: 120

La pregunta por la filosofía latinoamericana es el problema que ocupa esta investigación. Su punto de partida es el malestar que causa la pregunta por la filosofía latinoamericana entre nosotros, la cual se considera un presupuesto. En el texto, se reemplaza la pregunta “¿hay una filosofía latinoamericana?” por una nueva: “¿cuál es la mejor actitud filosófica desde el continente latinoamericano?” El problema ya no es la existencia de tal filosofía, sino el quehacer filosófico en América Latina.

Número de Páginas: 202

Richard Rorty est certainement l'un des philosophes contemporains qui ont contribué le plus directement à la discussion internationale en philosophie. Cet ouvrage entend honorer sa mémoire en rappelant cet engagement, et en situant sa philosophie, dans ses propres termes, comme « la politique culturelle » qu'il a su promouvoir tout en pratiquant le dialogue philosophique comme le paradigme du dialogue transculturel dont nous avons aujourd'hui besoin.

Ensayos sobre Heidegger y otros pensadores contemporáneos

Autor: Richard Rorty

Número de Páginas: 288

En este volumen, que reune algunos de sus mas recientes textos filosoficos, Richard Rorty centra toda la atencion de su poderosa capacidad interpretativa y analitica en la obra de Heidegger y Derrida. La primera parte incluye cuatro articulos sobre Heidegger; la segunda, tres articulos sobre Derrida y un trabajo adicional en el que se examina el uso que han hecho Paul de Man y sus seguidores de ciertas ideas de Derrida; y la tercera parte, siendo mas heterogenea, presenta trabajos que van desde el estudio de Freud y la deliberacion moral a las teorias sociales y actitudes politicas de Habermas, Unger, Castoriadis y Foucault. A partir de todo ello, Rorty acaba entendiendo que la tradicion de Nietzxche Heidegger Derrida de forma similar a la tradicion de Dewey Wittgeenstein Davidson considerada en Ojectivity, relativism and Truth, otra de sus obras basicas culmina en un conjunto de doctrinas antiesencialistas, antirrepresentacionalistas y pragmatistas, que a la vez le sirven para criticar a Heidegger y Derrida por considerar el lenguaje como un elemento reflexivo en lugar de segun Davidson como cadenas de marcas y ruidos que emiten y utilizan los organismos para coordinar su...

An introduction to and overview of Rorty's ideas, his writings and his contributions to the various fields of philosophy

Richard Rorty

Autor: Christopher J. Voparil

Número de Páginas: 217

The first full-length work devoted to Richard Rorty from the perspective of political theory, this book offers a fresh assessment of the promise of the renowned pragmatist's project. Framing Rorty's discourse as one of meaning and persuasion rather than truth and accuracy of representation, Voparil sheds new light on many of Rorty's most misunderstood and maligned stances, including his practice of "redescription" and disavowal of "getting it right," as well as his embrace of the novel and "sentimental education." As political theory, Rorty's perspective, not unlike Sheldon Wolin's, values the imagination, the ability to come up with new metaphors and angles of vision, and is driven by a deep desire to reinvigorate a moribund and detached contemporary left. Voparil's account engages the full range of Rorty's intellectual forebears, grounding his thought in an American tradition that extends beyond the classical pragmatists to include Emerson, Whitman, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and James Baldwin, in addition to chapters that trace Rorty's connection to such diverse figures as Marx, Mill, Dickens, Isaiah Berlin, and Milan Kundera.

El Giro Lingüístico

Autor: Richard Rorty

Número de Páginas: 170

Los tres textos de Rorty que recoge este volumen (para el que expresamente fue escrito fue escrito el último: estamos ante una primicia) constituyen no sólo un frente desconstructivo de la filosofía lingüística anglonorteamericana (Acaso la versión más y mejor propagada del "giro lingüístico" que experimenta la filosofía en este siglo), sino también la materia genética de la desconstrucción de la epistemología moderna, último intento de la filosofía sistemática, de filiación platónica-kantiana, de constituirse en Alto Tribunal de la Realidad que emite el veredicto sobre lo que es y no es un buen confort metafísico. Rorty, al desconstruir las pretensiones de la filosofía del lenguaje de estar fundada y ser fundamentadora (de ser la nueva filosofía primera), se suma a la nómina de héroes desconstructivos de las falsas certezas y de las pseudoseguridades modernas. Y ante la frustración colectiva, histórica, que nos va quedando como herencia de la falsa deidad moderna (el confort racional en su trinidad metafísico-epistémico-moral), tiene el valor de erradicar hasta sus puntas las raíces de la fe moderna en el fundamento (racional) y lo (racionalmente)...

Revisiting Richard Rorty

Autor: Pedro Góis Moreira

Número de Páginas: 275

Richard Rorty is considered one of the most original philosophers of the last decades, and he has generated warm enthusiasm on the part of many intellectuals and students, within and outside the field of philosophy. The collection opens with an essay by Robert Brandom, in which he continues the discussion of Rorty’s “vocabulary vocabulary” that he began in Rorty and his Critics, and ends with an interview in which Brandom talks about Rorty himself as a teacher and friend. The collection is then divided into three further sections, each addressing an aspect of Rorty’s thought. First, a political section contains several essays discussing Rorty’s notorious “prophecy” in Achieving our Country and the idea that he would have foreseen the rise of a political “strongman.” Also discussed are Rorty's view of the cultural left, his view of the relation between truth and democracy, and Rorty on the concept of fraternity. In a second, epistemological section, several essays address Rorty’s historicism, anti-representationalism, and his views on truth and on religion, often through the lenses of his critics (Putnam, Habermas, Dews). A final section addresses the relations...

Richard Rorty

Autor: Neil Gascoigne

Número de Páginas: 254

Neil Gascoigne provides the first comprehensive introduction Richard Rorty’s work. He demonstrates to the general reader and to the student of philosophy alike how the radical views on truth, objectivity and rationality expressed in Rorty’s widely-read essays on contemporary culture and politics derive from his earliest work in the philosophy of mind and language. He avoids the partisanship that characterizes much discussion of Rorty’s work whilst providing a critical account of some of the dominant concerns of contemporary thought. Beginning with Rorty’s early work on concept-change in the philosophy of mind, the book traces his increasing hostility to the idea that philosophy is cognitively privileged with respect to other disciplines. After the publication of Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature, this led to a new emphasis on preserving the moral and political inheritance of the enlightenment by detaching it from the traditional search for rational foundations. This emerging project led Rorty to champion ‘ironic’ thinkers like Foucault and Derrida, and to his attempt to update the liberalism of J. S. Mill by offering a non-universalistic account of the individual’s ...

Richard Rorty

Autor: Andreas Vieth

Número de Páginas: 147

Without doubt Richard Rorty is one of the most honored, famous and disputed philosophers of our days. All over the world interest in his inspiring and provoking thoughts goes beyond the circles of academic philosophy. The present volume includes "The Brain as Hardware, Culture as Software" and "Philosophy-Envy" of Richard Rorty, papers presented by students of the philosophy department at university of Münster and Rorty's responses to and comments on them. Rorty's lecture has been publicly presented at the 8. Münstersche Vorlesungen zur Philosophie on may 26th 2004. The students presented their intensively prepared papers on the following day. The volume gives an overview of the main topics of his philosophy as well as a detailed analysis of central concepts. "The papers are of very high quality indeed, and the level of discussion during the day I spent with the students was equally high. I have never, in any university, encountered students who combined such detailed knowledge of my writings with such penetrating criticisms of my views." (Richard Rorty)

Richard Rorty

Autor: David L. Hall

Número de Páginas: 308

This book is a discussion of the nature and import of Richard Rorty's philosophy, particularly as it relates to his reevaluation of American pragmatism. Rorty's thinking is assessed within the context of both modern and postmodern intellectual trends, and his thought is contrasted with that of his principal contemporaries in America and Europe, including Donald Davidson, W. V. O. Quine, Jürgen Habermas, Michel Foucault, Martin Heidegger, and Jacques Derrida.

Richard Rorty

Autor: Alan Malachowski

Número de Páginas: 216

Richard Rorty is notorious for contending that the traditional, foundation-building and truth-seeking ambitions of systematic philosophy should be set aside in favour of a more pragmatic, conversational, hermeneutically guided project. This challenge has not only struck at the heart of philosophy but has ricocheted across other disciplines, both contesting their received self-images and opening up new avenues of inquiry in the process. Alan Malachowski provides an authoritative overview of Rorty's considerable body of work and a general assessment of his impact both within philosophy and in the humanities more broadly. He begins by explaining the genesis of Rorty's central ideas, tracking their development from suggestions in his early papers through their crystallization in his groundbreaking book, "Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature". Malachowski evaluates some of the common criticisms of Rorty's position and his ensuing pragmatism. The book examines the subsequent evolution of his ideas, focusing particularly on the main themes of his second major work, Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity. The political and cultural impact of Rorty's writings on such diverse fields as feminism, ...

Verdad y progreso

Autor: Richard Rorty

Número de Páginas: 400

Este volumen es complementario de otros dos tomos, ya publicados por Paidos, correspondientes a los Escritos filosoficos de Richard Rorty: Objetividad, realismo y verdad y Ensayos sobre Heidegger y otros pensadores contemporaneos. El tema que subyace a toda la serie es el convencimiento, por parte del autor, de que no deberiamos pensar que la investigacion, ya sea en la ciencia o en cualquier otra area de la cultura, apunta hacia la verdad, sino que se limita a resolver problemas. Solo la desacreditada teoria de la verdad como correspondencia hace plausible la idea de que se trata de una meta. Una vez que se abandona tal nocion, se puede empezar a dudar tambien de que la investigacion deba dirigirse hacia un punto determinado y, en consecuencia, contemplar sus horizontes como algo en constante expansion, a medida que tropezamos con nuevos problemas. Todo ello ilustrado con analisis del trabajo de algunos de los pensadores actuales mas importantes, como por ejemplo Robert Brandom, Donald Davidson, Daniel Dennett, Jacques Derrida, Jurgen Habermas, John McDowell, Hilary Putnam, John Searle y Charles Taylor.

Pueden los pecados cometidos por Estados Unidos en el pasado enturbiar sus esperanzas de futuro? Eso es lo que viene afirmando en los ultimos tiempos la izquierda norteamericana, mientras se dedica a lamentar las verguenzas de la nacion atrincherada en sus elegantes salones academicos. Con el fin de desafiar a esta B+generacion perdidaB; a que reconsidere el papel que podria desempenar dentro de la gran tradicion de la accion intelectual democratica b"de Walt Whitman a John Dewey, Richard Rorty rastrea los origenes de esta conciencia de culpa y descubre que en su esencia no hay otra cosa que el conflicto entre la vieja y la nueva izquierda surgido durante la guerra de Vietnam. Asi, describe como la paradojica victoria del movimiento antibelicista, que marco el comienzo de la presidencia de Nixon, empujo a una desencantada generacion de intelectuales hacia la busqueda de grandes teorias, lo cual la llevo a olvidarse de replantear el papel de las ideas en la vida cotidiana. En medio de este panorama, y en ausencia de una izquierda viva y dinamica, los intelectuales de la derecha han conseguido dominar la vida publica estadounidense. Hay que dar, pues, los primeros pasos para...

Contingencia, ironía y solidaridad

Autor: Richard Rorty

Número de Páginas: 228

Desde la filosofia hasta la critica literaria, pasando por la teoria social, el amplio ambito de referencia de este libro encierra conclusiones igualmente complejas. Rorty sostiene que pensadores tales como Nietzche, Freud y Wittgenstein han hecho posible que las sociedades se consideren a si mismas como contingencias historicas antes que como expresiones de una subyacente naturaleza ahistorica o como realizaciones de metas suprahistoricas. Esta perspectiva ironica acerca de la condicion humana resulta valiosa en el plano privado, si bien no puede adelantarse a los fines sociales o politicos del liberalismo. Rorty cree en realidad que es la literatura, y no la filosofia la que puede hacer tal cosa promoviendo un sentido genuino de la solidaridad humana, sobre todo a partir de novelistas como Orwell y Nabokov. Una cultura verdaderamente liberal, con clara conciencia de su contingencia historica, fusionaria la libertad privada, individual, de la perspectiva filosofica, ironica, con el proyecto publico de la solidaridad humana engendrado por la inteligencia y la sensibilidad de grandes escritores. Richard Rorty caracterizado como el filosofo mas interesante de la actualidad en todo...

Richard Rorty

Autor: Michael A. Peters , Paulo Ghiraldelli

Número de Páginas: 218

Richard Rorty's neopragmatist philosophy marks him as one of the most gifted and controversial thinkers of his time. Antifoundationalism and antirepresentationalism are the guiding motifs in his thought. He wants to jettison a set of philosophical distinctions—appearance/reality, mind/body, morality/prudence—that have dominated and shaped the history of Western philosophy since the time of Plato. It is a position that has propelled him into a series of heated debates with philosophers who are the most influential of their generation—analytic philosophers such as Quine, Davidson, Rawls, and Putnam; as well as Continental philosophers, including Habermas, Derrida, Foucault, and Lyotard. At the same time, Rorty's work has helped to break down the artificial separation between these two wings of Western philosophy by acting as an intellectual bridge between them. This distinctive collection by scholars from around the world focuses upon the cultural, educational, and political significance of his thought. The nine essays which comprise the collection examine a variety of related themes: Rorty's neopragmatism, his view of philosophy, his philosophy of education and culture,...

Richard Rorty

Autor: Neil Gross

Número de Páginas: 422

La sociología no suele engranarse con la biografía intelectual. Además de ser la biografía de uno de los intelectuales más influyentes de nuestro tiempo, fruto de una exhaustiva investigación y de una construcción excepcional, esta obra constituye también un ejercicio ejemplar de la “nueva sociología de las ideas”. Muestra como el “concepto de uno mismo” debe ser esencial para cualquier relato sociológico que busque una consecución intelectual de relevancia. Al realizarlo, desafía las concepciones más deterministas y restaura la integridad dentro del proceso creativo. Al situar a Rorty en múltiples contextos —personal, institucional y discursivo— en los que se desarrolla su pensamiento, Neil Gross facilita un modelo convincente para la historia intelectual del siglo XXI. En definitiva, se trata de un libro para todo tipo de lectores.

The Ethics, Epistemology, and Politics of Richard Rorty

Autor: Giancarlo Marchetti

Número de Páginas: 297

This book features fourteen original essays that critically engage the philosophy of Richard Rorty, with an emphasis on his ethics, epistemology, and politics. Inspired by James’ and Dewey’s pragmatism, Rorty urged us to rethink the role of science and truth with a liberal-democratic vision of politics. In doing so, he criticized philosophy as a sheer scholastic endeavor and put it back in touch with our most pressing cultural and human needs. The essays in this volume employ the conceptual tools and argumentative techniques of analytic philosophy and pragmatism and demonstrate the relevance of Rorty’s thought to the most urgent questions of our time. They touch on a number of topics, including but not limited to structural injustice, rule-following, Black feminist philosophy, legal pragmatism, moral progress, relativism, and skepticism. This book will be of interest to a wide range of scholars across disciplines who are engaging with the work of Richard Rorty.

Rorty & Pragmatism

Autor: Richard Rorty

Número de Páginas: 288

In Rorty and Pragmatism, this highly influential and sometimes controversial philosopher responds to several of his most prominent critics, representing a wide range of backgrounds and concerns.

They provide insight into Rorty's thought, its development, and his sense of the future of philosophy.

The Ethics of Richard Rorty

Autor: Susan Dieleman , David E. Mcclean , Paul Showler

Número de Páginas: 241

This book contains diverse and critical reflections on Richard Rorty’s contributions to ethics, an aspect of his thought that has been relatively neglected. Together, they demonstrate that Rorty offers a compelling and coherent ethical vision. The book's chapters, grouped thematically, explore Rorty’s emphasis on the importance of moral imagination, social relations, language, and literature as instrumental for ethical self-transformation, as well as for strengthening what Rorty called "social hope," which entails constant work toward a more democratic, inclusive, and cosmopolitan society and world. Several contributors address the ethical implications of Rorty’s commitment to a vision of political liberalism without philosophical foundations. Others offer critical examinations of Rorty’s claim that our private or individual projects of self-creation can or should be held apart from our public goals of ameliorating social conditions and reducing cruelty and suffering. Some contributors explore hurdles that impede the practical applications of certain of Rorty's ideas. The Ethics of Richard Rorty will appeal to scholars and advanced students interested in American...

Richard Rorty: Outgrowing Modern Nihilism

Autor: Tracy Llanera

Número de Páginas: 173

The book makes a new contribution to the contemporary debates on nihilism and the sacred. Drawing on an original interpretation of Richard Rorty’s writings, it challenges the orthodox treatment of nihilism as a malaise that human beings must overcome. Instead, nihilism should be framed as a problem for human culture to outgrow through pragmatism.

A Companion to Rorty

Autor: Alan Malachowski

Número de Páginas: 560

A groundbreaking reference work on the revolutionary philosophy and intellectual legacy of Richard Rorty A provocative and often controversial thinker, Richard Rorty and his ideas have been the subject of renewed interest to philosophers working in epistemology, metaphysics, analytic philosophy, and the history of philosophy. Having called for philosophers to abandon representationalist accounts of knowledge and language, Rorty introduced radical and challenging concepts to modern philosophy, generating divisive debate through the new form of American pragmatism which he advocated and the renunciation of traditional epistemology which he espoused. However, while Rorty has been one of the most widely-discussed figures in modern philosophy, few volumes have dealt directly with the expansive reach of his thought or its implications for the fields of philosophy in which he worked. The Blackwell Companion to Rorty is a collection of essays by prominent scholars which provide close, and long-overdue, examination of Rorty’s groundbreaking work. Divided into five parts, this volumecovers the major intellectual movements of Rorty’s career from his early work on consciousness and...

Número de Páginas: 154

Contingentism depicts normativity as one of our human effective possibilities rather than as a metaphysical bottleneck which we should necessary fulfill.

A Pragmatist's Progress?

Autor: John Pettegrew

Número de Páginas: 238

In this volume, a host of distinguished scholars examine Richard Rorty's influence on twentieth-century American pragmatism and its commitment to achieving social democracy. Rorty's reclaiming of the pragmatist tradition and his contribution to the discipline of intellectual history are highlighted; at the same time, each essay finds Rorty's pragmatism (most fully enunciated in Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity) lacking in its privatist vision of the good life. This criticism is drawn out through explicit comparisons between Rorty and his grandfather Walter Rauschenbusch, William James, John Dewey, Randolph Bourne, Richard J. Bernstein, and other twentieth century pragmatist thinkers. This volume offers the most complete historical treatment of this controversial intellectual to date.
