摘要
罗蒂与后现代主义的关系相当复杂.罗蒂通过批判欧洲近代哲学的"表象论"的认识论路线和早期分析哲学的"图像论"语言观而得出某些类似于后现代主义的结论.从这一角度看,罗蒂与法国后现代主义代表人物德里达一样都致力于解构形而上学.然而,罗蒂的实用主义立场又导致他在文化观等方面与法国后现代主义者分道扬镳.罗蒂从实用的效果出发肯定现代性和世俗社会中的某些积极因素,并且他还为技术理性、人本主义和怀抱希望的浪漫主义精神正名,批评后现代主义一味解构和不提出任何致力于改造社会的理想蓝图.至于罗蒂的新实用主义究竟新在何处和有无问题,可将其与传统的实用主义论点和后现代主义的论点相对照.
Abstract
The relationship between Rorty and postmodernism is quite complicated.Rorty draws some conclusions similar to postmodernism by criticizing the epistemological line of"representationism"in modern European philosophy and the linguistic view of"picture theory"in early analytic philosophy.From this point of view,Rorty,like Derrida and other representatives of French postmodernism,is committed to deconstructing metaphysics.However,Rorty's pragmatic stance led him to separate from the French postmodernists in cultural views and other aspects.Rorty affirmed some positive factors in modernity and secular society from the practical effect.Moreover,he also justified the spirit of technical rationality,humanism and hopeful romanticism,and criticized postmodernism for blindly deconstructing and not putting forward any ideal blueprint for transforming society.This paper mainly discusses Rorty's new pragmatism,but in order to explain where Rorty's new pragmatism is new and whether there is any problem,this paper also takes care to compare it with the traditional pragmatic argument and the postmodernist argument.
