    Apropos of your interest in reading other philosophers, you might want
    to read "Postmodernism and Truth" by Daniel Dennett at:

    http://www.butterfliesandwheels.com/articleprint.php?num=13Postmoder
    nism and truth

    He describes Rorty as his "good friend" and says he and Rorty have
    been "constructively disagreeing with each other for over a quarter of a
    century now."

    I found the paper interesting and believe you will, too. I was especially
    struck by Rorty's apparent concession to what he calls "vegetarian"
    concept of truth.
