question 162

True/False

Rorty tells us that, "If there is a happy solution to the dilemma created by the need of very poor Brazilians to find work and the need of the rest of us for the oxygen produced by the Amazonian rain forest, it is going to result of some as yet unimagined bureaucratic-technological initiative, not of a revolution in values. The slow crabwise movement is not going to speed up thanks to a change in philosophical outlook."
