RORTY? FUCK OFF. SAGE.

>>12512358
have you read him? he's more continental than analytic anglo. he's an unironic derrida fan

>>12512349
>he's more continental than analytic anglo. >he's an unironic derrida fan

As if this was a good thing. I hope you are trolling dude.

He bridged the gap between autismus maximus and full sperg philosophy. I like him.

>>12512349
The other analytics should've taken his postphilosophy approach.

>>12514764
He's trash and his views are just wrong.

>>12512349
That would be Whitehead actually

>>12512349
I have bad news for you, my noob philosophy friend... Pragmatism is very very anglo. Rorty is a postmodern pragmatist. The closest philosophers to him that I have read are Wilfred Sellars and Davidson, both American.

>he's more continental than analytic anglo. he's an unironic derrida fan
Derrida was more popular in America than in France, this is a key part of his biography.

>The other analytics should've taken his postphilosophy approach.
They had to in some form because of the resounding thumping that pure analyical philosophy took from the language and mind angle post-Wittgenstein. You don't have to go as far as Rorty did in reaction to this, but you can't stay in the same analytical lane without greatly adjusting like Quine or Davidson.

You're a pathetic nonceboy piece of shit. Go away.

Rorty was a sack of shit. Sage.

>>12512358
t. butthurt phil grad student who will never forgive rorty for saying people shouldn't waste too much time on philosophy

>>12515735
I really want to say this
I hope you get a qt gf

>Derrida was more popular in America than in France
I really doubt about this, I remember when somewhere in 1990s derrida get a honorable degree from american university and quite many of american philsophers literally bashing about him calling him pseud

... what does it mean

>>12516562
I am not made for love.

>>12516553
>I swear I wrote poetry before I read him!

>>12516654
virtual drive that shit until it becomes a secondary consciousness then.

>>12516629
>The philosophical standpoint, rejected by proponents of speculative realism, that we cannot directly access thinking and being, but only the correlation between them.

How does this make you feel?

>>12516617
Those kind of things are always controversial in the modern world, the sheer fact he got an honorary degree is telling enough. Sartre didn't get one, neither did Alain, Bergson, Merleau-Ponty, Weil, Meyerson, etc.

I have actually read Rorty, unlike a lot of people in this thread, and his work is bad. His epistemology is so poorly argued for and obviously false.

>muh non-propositional awareness can never justify a proposition so foundationalism is false.

He's retarded desu, saying you like Rorty doesn't make you look smart.

>>12516617
He was protested by American philosophy departments, not by American universities. He was and still is (unfortunately) very popular in literary studies, gender studies, critical theory, performance studies, etc. Those people love Derrida, the actual philosophers were the ones calling him a pseud.

And rightly so.

>>12518541
Oh, I totally agree. The Americans got this one right.

>>12512752
i simply stated well known facts about him. why is this board filled with idiots who reply to threads, which they know nothing about.

>>12515751
no. derrida was influential in america only in literary criticism, specifically the yale deconstruction movement (via de man, bloom, etc.). he hasn't had any impact on the analytic philosophical tradition apart from rorty drinking the koolaid.

>>12518431
haha this is great
