PlasticPills - Philosophy & Critical Theory Podcast

CHAPTER

Philosophy Is a Pseudo-Topic

Rorty says he's not interested in a theory of meaning that leads to a theory of truth. He doesn't think philosophy is gonna solve any social problems, but rather focus on specific things like policy and how those decisions are actually made concretely on the ground.
