Klappentext
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, Rorty 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.Biografie
Richard Rorty was born in New York in 1931. He completed his B.A. and M.A. in philosophy in Chicago and finished his Ph.D. at Yale.
