Rorty's approach is referred to as "postmodern" since it feels to be a natural progression out of the modern philosophy of Descartes. It is also referred to as "neopragmatic" because it takes an extremely pragmatic, practical look at the nature of our truths.

Start by thinking of this question: What is the one commonality among all the "truths" we've discussed so far?

Being a pragmatist, Rorty's answer to the question might be the most obvious one

As you watch the lecutre below, try to watch for answers to the following questions:

1. What is Rorty's neopragmatic theory of truth and why critics are afraid the later might lead to relativism.
2. What is the problem of language and why might truths be culturally biased?
3. Why do some believe a non-linguistic form of communication (like music, dance, or visual art) might be a better expression of truth?
