Abstract
Philosopher Richard Rorty explains his belief that the quest for happiness is more fundamental than the quest for truth. In his view, people developed language in order to achieve kinds of happiness they hadn't achieved previously. Professor Rorty also states that there is not one quest for truth and another for happiness. In fact, he believes that "...looking for truth is looking for beliefs which will help you get what you want and thus help you be happy."
