A few days ago I posted a link in the sidebar to Richard Rorty’s review of Scott Soames’s history books in the London Review of Books. (2005).

Now “Gillian Russell”:http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~grussell/courses.html has posted Scott Soames’ response and Nathan Salmon’s response to that review.

When I’m done teaching/writing etc for the day I may have a little more to say, because I’m surprisingly sympathetic to Rorty on some of the methodological points at issue. But for now read the whole things as they say on the internets.
