Review title: Pragmatism = moral subjectivism.
Product review: G.K. Chesterton once said that man's most pragmatic need is to be something more than a pragmatist. Without a "more than" pragmatic end, no one can truly be pragmatic. Quite obviously, pragmatism doesn't "work" because it isn't practical.Rorty wants us to move out of a post-metaphysical age and stop talking about "truth" just as "we" stopped talking about God. Rorty goes no further than this, leaving the implications of a Godless universe unexplored. He ultimately wants us to adopt his form of moral subjectivism--what works "for you"--that reduces truth to "what works," losing a distinctive and independent meaning in the processPragmatism: Not for me.
