from I - Early Papers
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 October 2020
The first text where Rorty addresses Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutics in this paper Rorty explains the reasons for his lack of interest in the French thinker’s views. A nice companion to the “Kant as a Critical Philosopher” paper, Rorty here suggests that both phenomenology and linguistic analysis are united by the shared enemy of Cartesianism. Rorty judges the linguistic analyst to be the better candidate of the two to lead “the anti-Cartesian revolution” and distills their position to three central metaphilosophical claims: the Pragmatist thesis; the Naturalistic thesis; and the Conventionalist thesis. He uses this platform to critique Ricoeur’s phenomenological approach to problems in the philosophy of language.
