Amerikali filozof Richard McKay Rorty'nin dogum yildonumu (4 Ekim 1931)
"Dunyanin orada, disarida oldugu iddiasiyla hakikatin orada disarida oldugu iddiasi arasinda bir ayrim yapmaya ihtiyacimiz var. Dunyanin orada, disarida oldugunu, bizim yaratimimiz olmadigini soylemek, sagduyuya yaslanarak mekan ve zamandaki seylerin cogunun insani zihinsel durumlari icermeyen nedenlerin sonuclari oldugunu soylemektir. Hakikatin orada, disarida olmadigini soylemek, basitce, tumcelerin olmadigi yerde hakikatin de olmadigini, tumcelerin insan dillerinin ogeleri oldugunu ve insan dillerinin insan yaratimlari oldugunu soylemektir. ( . . . ) Dunyanin yani sira hakikatin de orada, disarida oldugu onermesi, dunyanin kendine ait bir dile sahip bir varligin yaratimi olarak goruldugu bir cagin mirasidir."
"We need to make a distinction between the claim that the world is out there andthe claim that truth is out there. To say that the world is out there, that it is not our creation, isto say, with common sense, that most things in space and time are the effects of causes whichdo not include human mental states. To say that truth is not out there is simply to say that wherethere are no sentences there is no truth, that sentences are elements of human languages, andthat human languages are human creations. ( . . . )The suggestion that truth, as well as the world, is out there is the legacy of an age in which the world was seen as the creation of a being who had a language of His own."
