Separating communism from its metaphysical fo ..." |

 | | An Ethics for Today Finding Common Ground Between Philosophy and Religion by Professor Richard Rorty, Gianni Vattimo, G. Elijah Dann, Jeffrey W. Robbins Hardcover, 104 Pages, Published 2010 by Columbia University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-231-15056-9, ISBN: 0-231-15056-3 "Richard Rorty is famous, maybe even infamous, for his philosophical nonchalance. His groundbreaking work not only rejects all theories of truth but also dismisses modern epistemology and its preoccupation with knowledge and representation. At the same time, the celebrated pragmatist believed there could be no universally valid answers to moral questions, which led him to a complex view of religion rarely expressed in his writings. In t ..." |

Tugendhat took Heidegger's destruction of Being as presence and developed it in analytic philosophy, more speci ..." |
