Contingency and Normativity: The Challenges of Richard Rorty

By Rosa Maria Calcattera and Rosa María Calcaterra

Contingentism depicts normativity as one of our human effective possibilities rather than as a metaphysical bottleneck which we should necessary fulfill. The book is a critical survey of Richard McKay Rorty's "neo-pragmatism", in the light of various theoretical arguments as well as of his own resourceful attempts to renew philosophy from within its practice.
