Hmm: read another philosopher—a pragmatist like Rorty. First you have to get beyond the notion of Truth and Reality with capital letters. Those are now regarded

Hmm: read another philosopher—a pragmatist like Rorty. First you have to get beyond the notion of Truth and Reality with capital letters. Those are now regarded by many philosophers (and by me) as quaint historical residues. 1931 and Gödel’s proof plus 90 years of quantum carpet bombing has left us with dust and mud rather than grand edifices in philosophy or even physics. How appropriate for a post-Darwinian era ;-)
Accept life as a beautiful mess to fill with kindness when possible. That is pretty much Rorty’s pragmatic message.
