      title = {Richard Rorty : a short introduction /},
      abstract = {The essential provides a brief introduction to the main  features of Richard Rorty's neopragatism. At the same time,  it offers a systematic guide to a fruitful reading of  Rorty. The author proposes to read it as a fragile balance  of pragmatism and romanticism by which Rorty seeks to  change our self-image. Moreover, he elucidates this  transformative ambition through a sketch of "Contingency,  Irony, and Solidarity" and the utopian figure of the  liberal ironist. The essential concludes with a reference  to Rorty's hitherto unrecognized ethico-political  motivation and with a methodological suggestion for further  reading of his texts: One must apply the pragmatist method  to himself.
