Foreword + TP + [v] = Dedication page + vii-viii = Contents + 1-355 + 2 blank leaves, Octavo. First Edition. This work completes the trilogy which includes two earlier volumes: Objectivity, Relativism, and Truth and Essays on Heidegger and Others. Here, Rorty emphasizes a theme which has been developing throughout his career: that philosophical inquiry can produce answers to important social, political, and economic problems - but not eternal truths. Grounding philosophical inquiry in historical context, rather than a metaphysical, meta-historical reality, has been one of Rorty's most significant and pioneering projects. His continued advocacy for this historicist view is further developed in this collection of essays where he engages his own views in dialogue with Annette Baier, Jurgen Habermas, Jacques Derrida, Marilyn Frye, and others. Rorty also puts his view to the test here using several tools in his philosophical arsenal to provide answers to emerging present-day problems in America, responding to issues regarding human rights, cultural difference, and intersectionality. Publisher's original red, black, and white dust jacket with white lettering to front and back covers over original black publisher's boards with gilt lettering to spine. A fine copy.
