Dive into the final episode of our Richard Rorty series, "Step 88: Rorty’s Solidarity," exploring Part III of Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity. We unpack how Rorty uses Nabokov’s “tingles” and Orwell’s O’Brien to show cruelty and build solidarity through narrative, not universal truths. Learn why Rorty’s liberal ironist vision—balancing private self-creation with public hope—is so compelling yet fragile. Our critique reveals how his ideas have been subverted today by mimetic identities and weaponized anti-cruelty. Join Ryder Richards for a thought-provoking look at Rorty’s moral imagination!
