RORTY AND POSTMODERNISM

Abstract

The article refutes the widely held view that R. Rorty's philosophy is close to postmodernism. It is shown that in the confrontation between analytical and continental philosophy, Rorty held moderate positions towards the end of his life, criticizing both sides for intolerance. It is argued that Rorty explained the differences in the philosophizing style of both branches by several factors, including the stance of Scientism versus Romanticism and Personal Versus Public. In addition, Rorty's rejection of the political attitudes of postmodern philosophers played a significant role in shaping his later views.
