PARAMO VALERO, Víctor. Rorty and Derrida in the contemporary debate about the overcoming of the epistemology. Franciscanum [online]. 2013, vol.55, n.160, pp.81-110. ISSN 0120-1468.

Abstract The paper discusses, first, the position of Richard Rorty about epistemology in Philosophy and the mirror of nature. We identify his hermeneutics proposal with what is known as «overcoming epistemology». Assuming the perspective that the American thinker has offered in several essays on the work of Jacques Derrida, we detail, secondly, what the French philosopher has stated about the philosophy and its aspirations, from the Nietzschean critique of epistemology. We extract from the position of both authors a number of conclusions concerning the status of epistemology as a philosophical discipline.
