The Blackwell dictionary of Western philosophy (2004) defines "Neo-pragmatism" as follows: "A [[postmodernism|postmodern]] version of pragmatism developed by the American philosopher [[Richard Rorty]] and drawing inspiration from authors such as [[John Dewey]], [[Martin Heidegger]], [[Wilfrid Sellars]], [[Willard Van Orman Quine|Quine]], and [[Jacques Derrida]]. It repudiates the notion of universal truth, epistemological foundationalism, representationalism, and the notion of epistemic objectivity. It is a nominalist approach that denies that natural kinds and linguistic entities have substantive ontological implications. While traditional pragmatism focuses on experience, Rorty centers on [[literary theory|language]]. Language is contingent on use, and meaning is produced by using words in familiar manners. | ||
