Název v původním jazyce

The Ironist Who Would Be a Poet’s Helper: Richard Rorty’s Neo-pragmatism and Dilemmas of a Literary Scholar

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The chapter analyses Rorty’s nominalist vision of human culture, coined with a sense for historicity in his book Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity. The analysis focuses on the role of arts in Rorty’s vision with regard to his concepts of contingency in language and personal identity and his thoughts on metaphysics, irony and desire for self-improvement and for societies based on more freedom and justice. The essay attempts to transport Rorty’s thoughts from the realm of philosophy into the realm of literary history and theory: When thinking about literature, we should also distinguish metaphysics and irony, standard and non-standard discourses. After all, most of the categories taken for granted by majority of literary scholars can also be approached from the point of their contingency and thus can be subjected to their re-definitions.
