哲学和自然之镜

简介

Rorty, trained in analytic philosophy and then teaching at Princeton, published the book in 1979. It reconstructs how, from Descartes through Locke to Kant, philosophy came to picture the mind as a mirror of nature and itself as the discipline that checks the accuracy of our representations. Using Sellars’s critique of the “myth of the given” and Quine’s rejection of the analytic–synthetic distinction, Rorty argues that this project has no foundation. He presents Wittgenstein, Heidegger and Dewey as the three most important philosophers of the century and recommends “edifying” conversation and hermeneutics in place of epistemology. The book caused a stir in Anglo-American philosophy and made Rorty the best-known voice of neopragmatism.
