Ian quoted Hildebrand: QUOTE Dewey's entreaties—that philosophy start from lived experience (practically), motivated by moral ends (meliorism)—are prescriptive but necessarily vague. They pose a challenge to professionalized philosophers, who tend to respond by demanding specifics ... UNQUOTE
Matt: Which is funny, because Rorty gets made fun of for being vague. I think the reason they are vague, even necessarily so, is because they were both attempting to create an inspirational rhetoric to replace the inspirational rhetoric Plato created.
