misunderstanding the democratic "we": richard rorty's liberalism and the radical urge for a philosophical foundation

Not long after the publication of Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature, in 1979, Richard Rorty became one of the most frequently discussed American philosophers. His dismantling of Cartesianism persuaded many readers that philosophy must take account of history and culture, and those who were not persuaded at least saw his book as a serious challenge. To his admirers, Rorty was innovative, even radical; to his critics, he was someone who needed to be answered. Yet when Rorty turned to political theory, in the 1980s, he elicited a much different response, one of general surprise and disappointment.
