Beyond philosophy: rhetorical debates

Year of publication: 1431 AH - 2010 AD Edition: 1 Number of pages: 279 pages Cover: paper cover Publisher: Arab House for Science Publishers This collection of articles and interventions that make up this book was dedicated to discussing and studying a group of intellectual issues addressed by Richard Rorty's philosophy. They are divided between critical methodological and linguistic questions within his approaches and others related to practical issues according to Rorty's pragmatic view. Even though we distinguished between the theoretical and scientific appearance in Rorty, it often does not seem clear in Rorty's understanding, as the philosopher does not favor delving into theoretical matters and continuous excavation into the depths of theory. Like other pragmatist philosophers, he tends to avoid focusing on the theoretical dimension and prefers abstraction and contemplation. Philosophy is work and activity within the Anglo-Saxon context, emphasizing practice and realism among pragmatists.
