This conversation begins where Rorty's Achieving Our Country left off, with the life and health of the American Left. This wide ranging interview moves from this to Rorty's own intellectual history, the effects of globalization, American philosophy, the Cold War, New Deal politics, academic labor, the relationship between his philosophical principles and his political concerns, and more.
