"""An invaluable collection.""---Thomas Nagel, New Statesman ""Thought-provoking. . . . Fiercely argued yet thoroughly empathetic, these political musings are littered with valuable insights and astute analysis."" * Publishers Weekly * ""If anyone deserves the mantle ‘America’s Orwell,’ it’s Rorty, who combined political activism and sharp observation with a fierce intellectual independence that allowed him to criticize both left-wing and right-wing ambitions. . . . Exemplary political writing by a renowned maverick."" * Kirkus Reviews, starred review *"
