Abstract
I would like to take into consideration in this text the possibility of Richard Rorty's
evolution of views in terms of — suggested by him — distinction between the private
and the public as well as in terms of his dichotomous pair of „solidarity" and
„self-creation". My efforts would aim at showing that Rorty as a commentator on other
philosophers is more and more inclined to value the significance of self-creational,
developing one's „final vocabulary" way of philosophizing, while on the other hand -
as a philosopher himself he has remained, as far as the private sphere goes — in his own
philosophizing — rather moderate and full of reserve.
