A 2002 exposition of this thinker's work for the Philosophy Now series was written by Alan Malachowski, and this thinker's dialogue with Donald Davidson comprises such papers as 1995's "Is Truth a Goal of Inquiry?" The tension between "individual bliss" and "political progress" forms the basis for this man's essay "Trotsky and the Wild Orchids," which is found in a collection that also includes the essays "Ethics Without Principles," and "On Heidegger's Nazism." One of this man's works features a famous chapter about "Nabokov on cruelty," and advocates that "we should stop trying to combine self-creation and politics," and that we should adopt the titular attitude. More famously, he wrote a work which argued that the title activity should be seen as a "conversation" and a "social practice" rather than as the reflection of the world. The author of essays collected in Philosophy and Social Hope, for ten points, identify this neo-Pragmatist philosopher who wrote Contigency, Irony, and Solidarity, and Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature.
