Abstract

This paper, initially written for a conference on Rorty's work, was invited as part of the launching of this new journal. In it I discuss themes in Rorty and Plato's Theaetetus concerning truth and knowledge, and argue in particular that just as there are three quite different levels of discourse in the Theaetetus so we need to recognize that there are three analogous levels of discourse in Rorty's discussions of truth. --author-supplied description
