Revisiting Richard Rorty is the finest multilingual volume of work on Rorty to date. Anchored by a new essay and interview from Robert Brandom, the diverse contributions include timely reflections on Rorty's prophetic remarks on U.S. politics in Achieving Our Country, as well as broader examinations of his antirepresentationalism, historicism, and naturalism in relation to democratic politics, truth, metaphysics, and religious belief. The essays rethink Rorty's relation to Hume, Heidegger, and Ortega y Gasset, as well as pragmatist interlocutors, like Habermas, Putnam, Brandom, and Davidson. The scope and diversity of its themes are a testament to the international reach of Rorty's influence. Chris Voparil Union Institute & University
