Rorty, um filósofo mais ou menos relativista, ou Rorty, um gajo que não se lembra de quase nada, ou Rorty, simplesmente, Rorty

Int: What led you to major in philosophy?

Rorty: Lack of any better ideas. I might equally well have gone into English or History, but I had been more fascinated by my philosophy course than by anything else. It was like choosing a major without anything much in mind. Occasionally, I've regretted not being a historian, but by now, I think it doesn't really make much difference, because after you get tenure, you can do what you want anyways.
