Description: In this 1989 book, Rorty examines human solidarity and liberalism through literature, philosophy, social theory and literary criticism.
Review Quotes: "...bristles with big and unsettling ideas...No brief summary of this book can begin to convey its freshness, scope, and immense erudition...Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity will induce intellectual tingles in the philosopher and layman alike. It is going to be read for a long time." The Philadelphia Inquirer
