Rorty’s Ironists vs. Metaphysicians: Navigating Private Doubts and Public Hopes
Ryder Richards continues with Rorty’s "Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity." The liberal ironist, who doubts privately but fights cruelty publicly, does so with ironic (contingent) description, versus the metaphysicians’ truth-chasing. Rorty’s critique of Plato and Kant, Heidegger and Habermas, while championing Nietzsche, Derrida, and Proust. Ryder skeptically probes whether Rorty’s private-public split weakens moral resolve.
