How to Understand Richard Rorty's Unparaphrasability of Metaphor
Richard Rorty destructed"centralization"in philosophy and opened up the path of post-philosophical culture driven by edification philosophy and imagination.In discussion of language contingency,Rorty developed unparaphrasability of metaphor,giving it the connotation of new pragmatism.The meaning of metaphor stems from practice and serves practice.Its judgment does not remain static,closed,and constant,but dynamic and fluid hinging on subjectivity and socialization.The metaphorical discourse of individuals contextually appropriate is personally justifiable.The metaphorical discourse that eventually integrates into the final vocabulary is socially justifiable under the role of solidarity.Both discourses provide service for people in terms of different goals and have their separate pragmatic effects,being unparaphrasable and infelicitous for substitution,thus laying foundation for unparaphrasability of metaphor.Delving into Rorty's metaphorical unparaphrasability and grasping his linguistic philosophy and ideological achievements and trends is enlightening and profitable for further research on Rorty's philosophical thought and also the progress of the linguistic philosophy globally.
