@reasonandreligion: I absolutely love pragmatism even though analytic philosophers tend to hate it. I highly recommend reading these books: • American Evasion of Philosophy by Cornell West • The Varieties of Religious Experience, Pragmatism, the Meaning of Truth, and the Will to Believe by William James • Philosophical Investigations and On Certainty by Ludwig Wittgenstein • Philosophy and Social Hope, What can we Hope for, Consequences of Pragmatism, the Future of Religion, and Contingency Irony and Solidarity by Richard Rorty #philosophy #neitzche #pragmatism #bookrecs

Pragmatism is exactly wrong.

I’m sure you’ve read it by now, but I’d also recommend Philosophy As Poetry and also Pragmatism as Anti-Authoritarianism (the latter I believe was his last compiled writings edited by Robert Brandom). There are also a few compiled after his passing which are good. On Philosophy and Philosophers have some interesting essays that are worth reading. He also has a biography by Neil Gross that’s worth reading to understand more of his upbringing and university life. Explains part of his shift from analytic to more narrative/pragmatic/literature approach. If I can find his autobiographical essay, it’s another one definitely worth reading. If you can’t tell Rorty is probably my favorite philosopher 😂
