Abstract
My aim in this chapter to provide an overview of three principal philosophical themes that bring pragmatism and a variety of positions in continental post-Kantian European philosophy directly into conversation: (I) Max Horkheimer’s and Antonio Gramsci’s hostility to pragmatism; (II) Richard Rorty’s critique of metaphysics and its relationship with (a) Jean-François Lyotard’s rejection of ‘metanarratives’ and (b) Jürgen Habermas’s G. H. Mead-inspired notion of postmetaphysical thought; and (III) Rorty’s exaltation of the ‘strong poet’ and its relation with Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari’s personnage conceptuel.
