The work is dedicated to Irving Howe and A. Phillip Randolph, Jr., figures Rorty deeply admired for their writings, social roles, and political stances, symbolizing the best of the American spirit. The content is structured into distinct sections, including an analysis of American national pride through the lenses of Whitman and Dewey, an examination of the historical eclipse of the reformist left, and a discussion of the cultural left. Further sections delve into movements and campaigns, and the inspirational value of great works of literature. The book serves as a critical reflection on the trajectory of American leftist thought.","ACHIEVING OUR COUNTRY  \nThe William E.
