From Heidegger to Pomos

[d-m-c at worldnet.att.net]

Well I haven't read Rorty in quite some time, but I never did dig his
epistemological move, sheepishly bowing his head, hands shoved in pockets,
kicking his shitkickers in the dirt and saying:  "Aww shucks, philsophy
ain't so special.  We's just another conversation among the conversations
of mankind"  I really find such posturing pathetic. It is a way of
legitimating one's voice, in this case philosophy, as superior to others by
donning the mantle of relativism.  It's entirely too disingenuous.  But
that was written in '79, as he said much different since?  Gad, Sam and
Frances,you're gonna force me to dig out some books and like read or
something.
