Half title + TP + [v] = Dedication page + vii = Contents + ix-x = Acknowledgements + 1-226 + 1 blank leaf, Octavo. First Edition.Objectivity, Relativism, and Truth, Rorty's first volume of his Philosophical Papers investigates philosophy and reconceives issues that have long divided Anglo-Saxon analytic philosophers and contemporary French and German philosophers. In this first volume, Rorty offers a compromise between the two traditions: though he agrees with the French and German conceptions of truth and objectivity, he leans toward the Anglo-Saxon political standpoint and pragmatic applications. Here, Rorty takes up an account of objectivity as intersubjectivity, claiming that objectivity is determined by utility for the purposes of a community. Thus, he argues that though science may be an objective reality, it is only valid in terms of the community who validates it. Paperback edition of the first volume of a two volume set. A fine copy. ADDITIONAL PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
