The most recent issue of Pragmatism Today includes an essay by John Stewart Kennedy Chair of Philosophy Marianne Janack. The article, titled “Why We Need to Think about ‘Home’: Thinking About Rorty’s Cosmopolitanism,” appeared in the issue devoted to Richard Rorty and contemporary American politics.
Janack’s article discusses the tensions in Rorty’s appeal to both anti-anti-ethnocentrism and to cosmopolitanism, centering those discussions in the history of the idea of homes, migration, and a homeland.
The issue is edited by Wojciech Malecki (University of Wroclaw, Poland) and John Giordano (Merrimack College and University of Southern Maine).
