Rorty before Rorty. On the mind/body distinction

Rorty before Rorty. On the mind/body distinction - 2019.
43
In this paper, I argue that there is significant continuity between Rorty’s early analytical works in the philosophy of mind and the later development of his pragmatism. The concept of vocabulary, and the sense of the contingency of the intentional and mental vocabularies in our lives, define Rorty’s original position in the literature on the mind-body problem. Early Rorty’s deflationism will be later developed into a post-ontological philosophy of mind, significantly different from Putnam’s and Brandom’s approaches.
