This contribution to the Common Knowledge symposium "Whatever Happened to Richard Rorty?" endorses Nicholas Gaskill's analysis of Rorty's limited legacy in the field of science and technology studies. It shows how, rather than engaging with scientific practice in a substantial way, Rorty relied heavily on the ideas of Thomas Kuhn. The article surveys the development of science studies since Kuhn's day, sketching an intellectual genealogy for Bruno Latour and Isabelle Stengers, whose work addresses-much more directly than Rorty's-current concerns with the climate crisis and environmental degradation
