<br/><br/> Rorty’s contribution to the renewal of interest in Dewey is linked with the fact that he has depicted him as one of the main philosophers of the twentieth century, alongside Wittgenstein and Heidegger. He also pointed out that Dewey should be read as a synthesis of Darwin and Hegel. Moreover, he contended that the contemporary relevance of Dewey’s philosophy is dependent on its capacity to critique the limitations of the analytical paradigm, in tune with Hegel’s criticism of Kant. This article analyses this paradoxical conception of the relationship between American pragmatism and Hegelianism, and his original account of the contemporary relevance of both Hegel and Dewey.
