Abstract

Received: 02-07-2018Accepted: 25-03-2019This paper aims to present the connection between Heidegger and Rorty, taking as a starting point the idea of freedom as the essence of truth. It is attempted to show on which ways and to what extent, this idea can be recognized in both philosophers. Through this exercise, it will be tried to shed light upon the complex relationship of Heidegger and Rorty, particularly on the question of history, language and praxis. In this way, it is hoped to enrich a debate that has generally favoured Heidegger to the detriment of Rorty.
