YONG HUANG, RICHARD RORTY - Rorty, Pragmatism, and Confucianism. With responses by Richard Rorty

Title: Rorty, Pragmatism, and Confucianism. With responses by Richard Rorty
Description: SUNY Press, 2009. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 332. Rorty, Pragmatism, and Confucianism offers a fascinating conversation between Confucianism, historically the dominant tradition in Chinese thought and society, and the contemporary philosophy of Richard Rorty. Well aware that his philosophical hero, John Dewey, has had a lasting influence among Chinese intellectuals, Rorty expressed a wish that his own books, which have been rapidly translated into Chinese, be read as an updated version of Dewey`s philosophy. In this book, twelve authors engage Rorty`s thought in a hermeneutic dialogue with Confucianism, using Confucianism to interpret and reconstruct Rorty while exploring such topics as human nature, moral psychology, moral relativism, moral progress, democracy, tradition, moral metaphysics, and religiosity. Rorty himself provides a detailed reply to each author. ISBN: 9780791476833. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
