The Linguistic Turn, Essays in Philosophical Method (1967) is a collection of "linguistic turn" essays edited by Richard Rorty.

Blurb:

The Linguistic Turn provides a rich and representative introduction to the entire historical and doctrinal range of the linguistic philosophy movement. In two retrospective essays titled "Ten Years After" and "Twenty-Five Years After," Rorty shows how his book was shaped by the time in which it was written and traces the directions philosophical study has taken since.
