Philosophy and the Idea of Freedom

Sets out to develop a critique of the work of Richard Rorty, one of the most influential authors. This title argues that Rorty's account of science and knowledge is based on a half-truth, and that Rorty's problem-field replicates the Kantian resolution of the third antinomy: we are determined as material bodies, but free as discursive subjects.
