Question Hello experts, I have a question that burns my mind. Rorty is usually considered as one of the most significant philosophers of today. However, I simply cannot understand him. Firstly, he speaks against epistemology, yet he argues for "pragmatism" (which I presume is a theory of knowledge). Secondly, he argues against metaphysics, yet he argues for "eliminative materialism" (which I presume is a theory of metaphysics). What is happening here? Seems illogical to me.
