Richard Rorty wrote philosophy and cultural criticism that challenged the idea of philosophy as a search for foundations or timeless representations of reality.

Rorty's prose is argumentative and comparatively accessible, drawing on pragmatism, analytic philosophy and continental thinkers. Readers looking for pragmatism, post-foundational philosophy and political liberalism are the closest match. Read more Less
