Routledge Philosophy Guidebook to

Rorty and the

Mirror of Nature

‘The book is clearly written and fair-minded throughout, just the sort of

work one would want as a guidebook for reading an important and diffi-

cult book. In this sense, it seems clear about its audience and will be

useful for a sophisticated study of Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature

and also of interest to those who already have a good deal of background

and familiarity with Rorty.’

David Hiley, University of New Hampshire, USA

‘This is well-written, clear, accessible, sharp and pitched at the right level.

It strikes the right balance between the detailed exploration of particular

arguments, and setting Rorty’s book in a wider intellectual context.’

Matthew Festenstein, University of York, UK

Richard Rorty is one of the most influential, controversial and widely-

read philosophers of the twentieth century. In this guidebook to

Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature Tartaglia analyses this chal-

lenging text and introduces and assesses:

• Rorty's life and the background to his philosophy

• the key themes and arguments of Philosophy and the Mirror of

Nature

• the continuing importance of Rorty's work to philosophy.

Rorty and the Mirror of Nature is an ideal starting point for anyone

new to Rorty, and will be essential reading for students of philosophy,

cultural studies, literary theory and social science.

James Tartaglia is Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Keele, UK.
