Abstract
Contemporary philosophers, who have largely adopted Heidegger's critique of the Cartesian subject, have struggled with Heidegger's unresolved formulation of the self. The article focuses on Richard Rorty and Jean-François Lyotard, who attempted to build on Heidegger's legacy while offering a more coherent view of the self. I argue that Rorty falls into the same dualistic trap as his mentor, while Lyotard avoids the same trap in his later writings, by abandoning the early key concept of 'language games.' (edited)
