Only a God Can Save Us: Richard Rorty's Philosophy of Social Hope Beyond Secularism

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper undertakes the project of presenting Rorty's philosophy from an unusual perspective of philosophy of religion and tries to answer the question: "Is atheism a necessary result of Rorty's rejection of Western metaphysics?" As his friend and, atthe same time, relentless philosophical critic Jürgen Habermas stated in Rorty's obituary, Rorty was a straightforward atheist (or an "anti-clericalist", as Rorty put it in his mature work) who argued against the metaphysical commitments of Christianityas well as against any involvement of religion in the public life of the community. As the paper argues, however, Rorty's philosophical work enables us to re-think and re-imagine the concepts of Christianity, God and faith in general in such a way, thatthey not only fully accord with rejection of strong metaphysics, but eventually also reinforce Rorty's project of edifying philosophy which serves the idea of human social progress.
