Van de Schoonheid en de Troost

Other States of Consciousness: Richard Rorty

Interview with Richard Rorty, American philosopher (in a studio and in nature). Rorty talks about his childhood memories, escaping the "outside world" by reading books, his education, his need to order the chaotic world, Plato, his insight that philosophical systems offer neither structure nor beauty, teaching philosophy for a living, and the term postmodernism.
