Must the sins of America's past poison its hope for the future? Lately the American Left, withdrawing into the ivied halls of academe to rue the nation's shame, has answered "yes" in both word and deed. In Achieving Our Country, one of America's foremost philosophers challenges this lost generation of the Left to understand the role it might play in the great tradition of democratic intellectual labor that started with writers like Walt Whitman and John Dewey.

Rorty Inspires
Revisado: 11-25-23
I experience Rorty as a simultaneous calming breeze and an inspirational fire. I experience him as one of few great intellectuals that write from a place of almost perfect balance: being sincerely invested in large and important issues, and yet somehow managing to clearly and dispassionately articulate the entire scope of these issues. He writes in a way I find endlessly engaging; sincere, humorous and, ultimately, hopeful.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 9
Philosophy for busy people. Listen to this succinct account of the philosophy of Wittgenstein in just one hour. Ludwig Wittgenstein saw himself as ‘the last philosopher’. In his view, philosophy in the traditional sense was finished. A superb logician, Wittgenstein distrusted language and sought to solve the problems of philosophy by reducing them to the purest form of logic. Everything else - metaphysics, aesthetics, ethics, finally even philosophy itself - was excluded.

Heavily biased account of Wittgenstein's life&work
Revisado: 01-23-23
Strathern describes Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations, held by many to be one of the seminal philosophical works of the 20th century, as "a bitter disappointment". I was looking forward to an impossibly short summary of Ray Monk's detailed (and magnificent) biography "Ludwig Wittgenstein: Duty of Genius". I was bitterly disappointed.
