Abstract

Bu çalısmanın temel amacı Rorty’nin, pragmatizm anlayısı ile klasik liberalizm üzerindeki yapılandırıcı etkilerini incelemektir. Çalısmada önce, Rorty’nin düsüncesinin felsefi özellikleri ile pragmatizme iliskin çözümlemelerine yer verilmistir. Daha sonra, Rorty’nin klasik liberalizm üzerindeki yeniden yapılandırıcı etkileri tartısılmıstır. Çalısmada Rorty’nin pragmatizminde, dine klasik liberalizmdekinden farklı bir kamusal islev verildigi ve böylelikle dinin, cemaat yasamı ötesinde bir siyasal toplum olusturmada zorlanan toplulukların, ikna yoluyla liberal internasyonalizmin yanına çekilebilmesine yönelik bir gereç olarak kullanılabildigi sonucuna varılmaktadır.

Keywords

AN EVALUATION ON RICHARD RORTY

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to examine Rorty’s
perception of pragmatism and its reconstructing effects on classical
liberalism. The study begins with philosophical foundations of Rorty’s thoughts
followed by his analysis of pragmatism. It then discusses his reconstructing
effects on classical liberalism. The article concludes that religion is
equipped with a different function that that of classic liberalism in Rorty’s
perception of pragmatism and thus, it can be used as a tool to get the
communities having trouble to form a modus vivendi beyond “gemeinschaft” into
the liberal internationalism. 

Keywords

Rorty, pragmatism, deconstructivism, relativism, postmodern bourgeois liberalism
