Rorty argued that truths are ___ since vocabularies are ___ by human beings.

  • Made

  • Used

  • Disposed

  • Created

Answer

Richard Rorty argued that truths are made rather than discovered, because vocabularies are made by human beings. In other words, the way we think about the world is shaped by the language we use, and therefore the truths we believe in are also shaped by our language. This is in contrast to the traditional view of truth as something that is objective and independent of human beings.
