Abstract

Richard Rorty, in the words of Harold Bloom, remains "the most interesting philosopher in the world today".¹ This description shows at once the many contours of Rorty's philosophical firmament. It is an incontrovertible fact that Rorty was trained in the analytic philosophical tradition, as some of his early writings reveal, but the same tradition later become, as it were, the battlefield of his philosophical attack.
