An interview that is very edifying, especially towards the end. This is Socratic dialog at its best; particularly as Harrison takes a solid ethical and practical stand, where it is obvious that while most philosophers are busy playing a Glass Bead Game (almost Rorty's own stance), our global future is inevitably endangered (to which Rorty seems, sadly, to be quite resigned).
This is from Entitled Opinions with Robert Harrison, a podcast at Stanford University
