PlasticPills - Philosophy & Critical Theory Podcast

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. Rorty also sees this philosophy of subjectivity merely as the creation of new vocabularies which become fodder for articulations of public reason in order to solve specific problems.
