Annotation
V semináři bude probírán filosofický vývoj Richarda Rortyho (1931-2007) - filosofa, který byl jakýmsi 'enfant terrible' analytické filosofie, který analytickou filosofii tvrdě kritizoval, aniž ale tak docela opustil její rámec. Seminář bude probírat formou referátů účastníků a následných diskusí.
