Richard Rorty
Prophet and Poet of the New Pragmatism
Description:... This book is a discussion of the nature and import of Richard Rortys philosophy, particularly as it relates to his reevaluation of American pragmatism.

V. O. Quine, Jürgen Habermas, Michel Foucault, Martin Heidegger, and Jacques Derrida.
