Pragmatism as Anti-Authoritarianism

In his final work, Richard Rorty provides the definitive statement of his political thought. Rorty equates pragmatism with anti-authoritarianism, arguing that because there is no authority we can rely on to ascertain truth, we can only do so intersubjectively. It follows that we must learn to think and care about what others think and care about.

In lucrarea sa finala, Richard Rorty ofera declaratia definitiva a gandirii sale politice. Rorty echivaleaza pragmatismul cu anti-autoritarismul, argumentand ca, pentru ca nu exista nicio autoritate pe care sa ne putem baza pentru a stabili adevarul, putem face acest lucru doar intersubiectiv.
