What is the Difference That Makes a Difference? Gadamer, Habermas, and Rorty
PSA: Proceedings of the Biennial Meeting of the Philosophy of Science Association 1982:331 - 359 (1982)
| Abstract | Against the background of disputes about modernity and post-modernity in philosophy, this paper probes the differences among Gadamer, Habermas, and Rorty. Focusing on the themes of praxis, phronesis, and practical discourse, it is argued that what initially appear to be hard and fast cleavages and irreconcilable differences turn out to be differences of emphasis. The common ground that emerges is adumbrated as "non-foundational pragmatic humanism". Although there are important differences among these three thinkers each of their voices contributes to a coherent conversation in developing "moral-political vision". | |||||||||
