Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature: Thirtieth-Anniversary Edition
Praise for Princeton's original edition: "This is an ambitious and important book. Ambitious because it attempts to place the main concerns and discussions of contemporary philosophy within a historical perspective; important because this is all too rarely attempted within our present philosophical culture, and almost never done this well."--Charles Taylor,Times Literary SupplementPraise for Princeton's previous edition: "[Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature] is . . . something of an event. . . . It is going to be a long time before a better book of its kind appears."--Alasdair MacIntyre,London Review of BooksPraise for Princeton's original edition: "Philosophy and the Mirror of Naturebrings to light the deep sense of crisis within the profession of academic philosophy. . . . Rorty's provocative and profound meditations impel philosophers to examine the problematic status of their discipline--only to discover that modern European philosophy has come to an end."--Cornel West,Union Seminary Quarterly Review
