The World Is Ours: Richard Rorty on Normative Objectivity.
I investigate the evolution and improvement of Richard Rorty's conception of the objective, non-linguistic world. I track his appropriation of Donald Davidson's doctrine of triangulation, showing how Rorty develops his notion of the world to face Robert Brandom's criticisms and Bjørn Ramberg's David...

I track his appropriation of Donald Davidson's doctrine of triangulation, showing how Rorty develops his notion of the world to face Robert Brandom's criticisms and Bjørn Ramberg's Davidsonian suggestions. I argue Rorty's final position accounts better for the possibility of community-transcending norms than his initial anti-representationalism. I begin with the conclusions of "The World Well Lost," which constitute his basic stance on the intersubjectivity of the world and then examine how Rorty departs from attempts to preserve a sense of objectivity. Finally, I explain how Rorty's responses to Ramberg and to Brandom complement each other, strengthen, and expand his initial stance to a full-fledged, normative account of human talk about the world. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Dialogue (00122246) is the property of Phi Sigma Tau and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
