If you fancy yourself lining up against wokeness and snowflake culture, and think it all boils down to postmodernism, then before turning in for your dogmatic slumbers, you need to spend a bit of time with the late, great, Richard Rorty.

It doesn’t.

His great works:

• Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature
• Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity
• Philosophy and Social Hope

Start with the last: it’s the most accessible.
