ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this article is to present the perspective of the neopragmatist philosopher Richard Rorty on the philosophy and professional activity of its practitioners. In this context, we privilege some aspects of his anti-representational criticism to the modern philosophical legacy and also his prognosis about what the philosophical activity can become in the contemporaneity. Throughout Rorty's argument, we have a comprehensive critique of the dominant epistemological notion of a specular mental image and, on the other hand, the proposition of a necessary transition to the cultural field in which the philosophical emphasis would lie in the possibilities of using language as a mode of dealing with the world.
