centrism is a hell of a drug

This is a chapter I like to give people. I think it is one of the best I've ever read on rights and it's a crime that Rorty died a pariah from academic philosophy (an indictment of academic philosophy much more than Rorty IMO). It lays out a pragmatist approach to ethics and explains why the pragmatist approach is better than any bullshit search for objectively true axioms could ever be.http://pages.uoregon.edu/koopman/siap/readings/rorty_rationality_sentimentality.pdf


Disclaimer: I have two degrees in philosophy so the above was stated in a thoroughly self-deprecating mode.
