"I'm less threatened by the idea that, you knowe were we have no access to rigt reaas i really is," he says. "He does get i can imagine it must have bee frustrated to be his philosophical enemy." He adds: "Riple can be very snide toward what they believe are relative absolutely"
David and Tamler take their first real look at pragmatism via Richard Rorty’s “Solidarity or Objectivity.” Can we discover facts about the world as it “really is,” independent of our own culturally influenced methods of inquiry? If not, does that make us relativists? Is David right about pragamatism being an ass-backward approach to scientific truth, or is he just a pragmatist who’s not ready to admit that to himself? Plus, does "The Little Mermaid" have to be white? What about Clark Kent? And we select the topic finalists for our Patreon listener selected episode.
