书籍简介

《哲学与自然之镜》于1979年首次问世，犹如一颗重磅炸弹，震撼了哲学世界。在书中，理查德·罗蒂认为，从17世纪开始，哲学家们对再现的概念产生了一种不健康的痴迷：将心灵比作一面反映现实的镜子。罗蒂的书对这种意象以及由此产生的思想传统进行了有力的批判。如今，这本书仍然是一本必读的书，是二十世纪哲学的经典之作。无论在哲学领域内还是在广泛的学科范围内，对该领域的影响都有增无减。这个版本包括哲学家迈克尔·威廉姆斯和文学学者大卫·布罗姆维奇的新文章，以及罗蒂以前未发表的文章《哲学专家》。

When it first appeared in 1979, Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature hit the philosophical world like a bombshell. In it, Richard Rorty argued that, beginning in the seventeenth century, philosophers developed an unhealthy obsession with the notion of representation: comparing the mind to a mirror that reflects reality. Rorty's book is a powerful critique of this imagery and the tradition of thought that it spawned. Today, the book remains a must-read and stands as a classic of twentieth-century philosophy. Its influence on the academy, both within philosophy and across a wide array of disciplines, continues unabated. This edition includes new essays by philosopher Michael Williams and literary scholar David Bromwich, as well as Rorty's previously unpublished essay "The Philosopher as Expert."
