Call for Papers: Revisiting Richard Rorty

\nKeynote speaker: Robert Brandom (University of Pittsburgh)
\nWe welcome papers and panels submissions for a conference on Richard Rorty to be held in Braga\, Portugal\, at the 25-26 of September. In light of his influential work\, life\, and thought\, the Political Theory Group of the University of Minho mark the tenth anniversary of his passing with a conference in his honor.
\nRichard Rorty addressed issues widely discussed today\, paying special attention to those at the crossroad between politics and epistemology: truth in times of post-truth\, the possible consequences of a spectatorial academic Left (in Achieving our Country)\, the growing awareness of the importance of language-games in today&rsquo\;s politics\, and so on. Proposals on these topics are welcome\, though we also welcome any subject related to Rorty&rsquo\;s thought: metaphilosophy\, anti-representationalism\, neopragmatism\, religion\, science\, analytic philosophy vs. continental philosophy\, human rights\, feminism\, sentimental education\, the importance of literature\, etc.. Naturally\, all critical perspectives on his work are also welcome.
