The article presents information on the book "Truth and Progress: Philosophical Papers," by Richard Rorty. "Truth and Progress" exhibits both the dazzle and idiosyncrasy of Rorty's literary style and artistic habits. It offers a liberal education in contemporary philosophy. Rorty keeps to his program in Truth and Progress, making clear that the pragmatist conception of truth anchors all else. Rorty believes pragmatists cannot sensibly attempt "to specify the nature of truth because its very absoluteness makes it indefinable. In practice, it, like "objectivity," amounts to intersubjective agreement within a particular community. Rorty sees the substitution of "objectivity-as-intersubjectivity" for "objectivity as ace curate representation" as "the key pragmatic move." The link between independent reality and thinking is causal.
