The Putnam/Rorty Debate

1. "Reinterpretability" of the Golden Gate bridge? Influece by the deconstructionists? One of this commentators needs to read or reread Rorty on Derrida and the American lit crit post modernists.

2. Quite unlike the cultural neo-cons, Rorty thought Derrida a great gust of fresh air for philosophy; for Derrida, in his view, helped make philiosphy a literary genre rather than a foundational discipline. However, Rorty did not much like professorial permutations of Derrida in the lit crit method known as deconstruction.

6. I have to agree with Rorty. Afterall, ALL human knowledge is based on interpretation. Therefore ALL human knowledge is subjective.
