Wallace Stevens explored in many different ways the relationship between reality and imagination in language that is at times evasive and often extravagant. Many of his poems are like abstract paintings or strange scenes. He uses poetry at times to fill the void of meaning left by his lost childhood religion or his lost personal hopes. He is also a remarkable poet of getting older.
Philosophy and Social Hope by Richard Rorty contains essays on a selection of topics. It explores how Rorty's ideas come out of the pragmatist tradition of William James and John Dewey. It shows how this tradition allows us to lay aside difficult to support ideas about ultimate reality but still do quite well looking at how ideas work practically and how they can lead us to a better, more democratic society.
