Nonfiction Review

Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity by Richard Rorty

Synopsis:
 A book on "postmodern" philosophy, Rorty offers insights into how we relate to others (whether or not we can, etc...) and what that means to us as humanity.

Who I would recommend this to:
- Anyone interested in postmodern philosophy would be interested in this book.  Rorty just recently died so he is very current when it comes to philosophy
- Hard to say, philosophy is such a limited genre, people don't really venture into philosophy (especially this far) without usually knowing what they are doing and really wanting to
- Might be better for someone doing a philosophy research project, or maybe even something psychological
