Topics discussed include the changing role of philosophy in Western culture over the course of recent centuries, the role of the imagination in intellectual and moral progress, the notion of 'moral identity', the Wittgensteinian claim that the problems of philosophy are linguistic in nature, the irrelevance of cognitive science to philosophy, and the mistaken idea that philosophers should find the 'place' of such things as consciousness and moral value in a world of physical particles. The papers form a rich and distinctive collection which will appeal to anyone with a serious interest in philosophy and its relation to culture.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 230mmItem Length: 154mmItem Width: 13mmItem Weight: 330gAuthor: Richard RortyGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Richard Rorty: Philosophical Papers Set 4 PaperbacksTopic: Society & CultureRelease Year: 2007
