Richard Rorty Libros

En este volumen, que reune algunos de sus mas recientes textos filosoficos, Richard Rorty centra toda la atencion de su poderosa capacidad interpretativa y analitica en la obra de Heidegger y Derrida. La primera parte incluye cuatro articulos sobre Heidegger; la segunda, tres articulos sobre Derrida y un trabajo adicional en el que se examina el uso que han hecho Paul de Man y sus seguidores de ciertas ideas de Derrida; y la tercera parte, siendo mas heterogenea, presenta trabajos que van desde el estudio de Freud y la deliberacion moral a las teorias sociales y actitudes politicas de Habermas, Unger, Castoriadis y Foucault. A partir de todo ello, Rorty acaba entendiendo que la tradicion de Nietzxche Heidegger Derrida de forma similar a la tradicion de Dewey Wittgeenstein Davidson considerada en Ojectivity, relativism and Truth, otra de sus obras basicas culmina en un conjunto de doctrinas antiesencialistas, antirrepresentacionalistas y pragmatistas, que a la vez le sirven para criticar a Heidegger y Derrida por considerar el lenguaje como un elemento reflexivo en lugar de segun Davidson como cadenas de marcas y ruidos que emiten y utilizan los organismos para coordinar su conducta. La conclusion de Rorty, asi, es que no existe tension entre ambas tradiciones, excepto en aquellos puntos en los que Heidegger y Derrida se convierten en cuasi metafisicos.
