PHILOSOPHY AND THE MIRROR OF NATURE - RICHARD R...

When it first appeared in 1979  Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature hit the philosophical world
like a bombshell. In it  Richard Rorty argued that  beginning in the seventeenth century 
philosophers developed an unhealthy obsession with the notion of representation: comparing the
mind to a mirror that reflects reality. Rorty's book is a powerful critique of this imagery and
the tradition of thought that it spawned. Today  the book remains a must-read and stands as a
classic of twentieth-century philosophy. Its influence on the academy  both within philosophy
and across a wide array of disciplines  continues unabated. This edition includes new essays by
philosopher Michael Williams and literary scholar David Bromwich  as well as Rorty's previously
unpublished essay The Philosopher as Expert.
