I found these websites helpful when reading "Objectivity, relativism and truth". They give opinions and explainations of Richard Rorty's ideas.
http://www-philosophy.stanford.edu/fss/rr.html (Stanford Univ. page on Rorty)
http://www.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Philo.html (Extremely comprehensive page. Great web resource)
This website gave a discussion of Rorty's philosophy.

Stephanie:
That third link is to people who are inherently unwilling to entertain Rorty's argument, which means, then, that they can't be very helpful in undertanding him, can they? If you already understood his argument thoroughly, and wanted to understand some of the counterarguments, we could also choose many more thoughtful and mainstream counterarguments. I hope this makes sense.
Graduate school lesson: Don't attempt to destroy your opponent before you thoroughly understand his or her position. Why? Two reasons: 1. You will fail because you will attack a figment of your imagination. 2. You may like some aspects of your "opponents" position, and learn from it. Why kill him before you know him?

I apologize for using this link. I just thought the discussion board would give me some ideas of what he was thinking. I did not agree with what was said but it did make me contemplate more on Rorty than normal.
