Pill Pod 98 - Ricky Rorty: Derrida vs. Habermas

This resembles one of our FIGHT NIGHT episodes, except the whole of it is mediated by another philosopher, Richard Rorty. We give a bit of background to philosophical pragmatism before trying to get a read on what philosophy is for according to each of these three authors. Is it for self-help? Can it solve 'real' problems? Or is philosophy just cope?   Find the public link on our patreon page https://www.patreon.com/plasticpills
