Content

This resembles one of our FIGHT NIGHT episodes, except the whole of it is mediated by another philosopher, Richard Rorty. We give a bit of background to philosophical pragmatism before trying to get a read on what philosophy is for according to each of these three authors. Is it for self-help? Can it solve 'real' problems? Or is philosophy just cope?

This was really interesting, and Rorty does write in a really clear way when compared to the postmodern daddies. I honestly don't like the private/social philosophy distinction because it's impossible to isolate the individual as some entity divorced from the social. Because when your reality and desire is largely socially constructed, it seems silly to say that you can't use Nietzsche or Foucault for political ends, because much of their writings can be used to analyse the political and aid in the formation of new political axioms and goals. I swear tho, the Frankfurt school really took a nosedive after the OGs bit the dust, unfortunately.
