  49. The extent to which Rorty and Rawls share a common political or philosophical vision is, of course, contentious. Rorty certainly claims that there is much in common. However, certain fundamental differences with regard to the role of comprehensive theories still remain. I have tried to address the nature of their relationship elsewhere, in “Another Look at the New Rawls”,Anglo-American Law Review 24 (1995), 104–22, concentrating particularly on a possible affinity with Kant's later writings.
