“Epistemology” - Social and Philosophical Foundations of Education

Richard Rorty (1931- )
From Wikipedia:
Reception and criticism
“Because of the clarity and humor of his writing style, and
his ability to undermine cherished assumptions, Rorty is
one of the most widely-read contemporary philosophers.
His political and moral philosophies have been under
almost constant attack both from some on the Right, who
call them relativist and irresponsible, and some on the
Left, who believe them to be insufficient frameworks for
social justice. The most common criticism is that Rorty's
work is self-refuting (see Nagel and Nozick for instance),
although such criticisms often play directly into Rorty's
theories about arguing within versus arguing outside of a
given 'language-game'.”
