Richard Rorty's Political Liberalism, its Philosophical Basis and Relevant Polemics
Munzar, Tomáš ; Kučera, Jan (advisor) ; Šimsa, Martin (referee)
This thesis describes Richard Rorty's view of postmetaphysical political liberalism. After briefly introducing the author, the text deals with his opinions on truth and role of philosophy as they were stated in Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature and which form the foundations for his subsequent views. Further, the thesis addresses Rorty's Contingency, Irony, Solidarity and attempts to present the parts relevant to its topic. In the last part, several selected topics are discussed in broader context and an attempt is made to compare Rorty's texts with those of other authors. These selected topics are Rorty's public-private distinction, postmetaphysical liberalism, relativism and ethnocentrism.
