Abstract

The paper deals with Richard Rorty's objections against philosophical method which he exposed in several theses. Rorty's arguments directed primarily against analytic philosophy are compared to his anti-representialist views on European philosophy. The author criticizes Rorty for his statements that research programs and disciplinary matrices are insignificant for philosophy, as well as for his global aim at understanding philosophy as a "conversation of mankind."
