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.enRichard RortyAmerican neopragmatismAmerican new pragmatismMichel FoucaultContingency, Irony, and SolidarityJacques Derridasolidarityself-creationvocabularypublic and privateprivate spherepublic spherepublic private distinctionhumiliationJean-Francois Lyotardpostmodern philosophyevolutionArtykuł
