In this book Rorty argues that thinkers such as Nietzsche, Freud, and Wittgenstein have enabled societies to see themselves as historical contingencies, rather than as expressions of underlying, ahistorical human nature or as realizations of suprahistorical goals. This ironic perspective on the human condition is valuable on a private level, although it cannot advance the social or political goals of liberalism. In fact Rorty believes that it is literature not philosophy that can do this, by promoting a genuine sense of human solidarity. A truly liberal culture, acutely aware of its own historical contingency, would fuse the private, individual freedom of the ironic, philosophical perspective with the public project of human solidarity as it is engendered through the insights and sensibilities of great writers. The book has a characteristically wide range of reference from philosophy through social theory to literary criticism. It confirms Rorty's status as a uniquely subtle theorist, whose writing will prove absorbing to academic and nonacademic readers alike.
一直以来形而上学与共同体之间仿佛存在着必然的联系,而二十世纪以来的实践显示出形而上学所代表的启蒙理性主义逐渐压倒启蒙自由主义,其影响是十分危险的。而作为共同体建构基础的共通感预设实际上是形而上学理性主义的一个方面。在罗蒂看来,自由主义由此遭遇了危机:自由主...

评分因为最近着迷维特根斯坦,我又翻出罗蒂这本书,一些阅读记录和随意的想法如下: 1. 语言的偶然性继承后期维特根斯坦,世界或人类并没有一个内在的本质,所谓科学与艺术的进步并不意味着我们更接近自然或人性的“本质”,而是我们选择用不同的语汇进行再描述,是一组新的隐喻诞...
评分我一直在思索什么才是真正的普世价值?我想来想去,只有罗蒂的“避免残酷”还有罗素所说的“对爱的渴望、对知识的追求还以及对于人类苦难痛彻肺腑的怜悯”也许勉强可以成为这个问题的答案。 罗蒂的伟大在于,他一直致力于探索的问题是:如何才能避免残酷?为什么他反对...
