«El giro lingüístico» is Richard Rorty's essay on the philosophy of language, published by Ediciones Paidós in 1990 in paperback (168 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together three texts by Richard Rorty —the last written expressly for this publication— in which he criticises Anglo-American philosophy of language and modern epistemology. Rorty dismantles the claims of language to an ultimate foundation and underscores the uncertain, contingent and finite condition of contemporary experience.
It belongs to the Pensamiento Contemporáneo collection (no. 11). The introduction is by Gabriel Bello, professor of Ethics at the University of La Laguna.
Aimed at readers interested in contemporary philosophy, not only specialists, who wish to delve into the debates of the linguistic turn.
