Defending Rorty

The book explores the intersection of American pragmatism and romanticism, where Richard Rorty advocates for liberal democracy as a political system that resists authoritarianism. He emphasizes the importance of liberal civic virtues in fostering a democratic society, arguing for a vision of politics that prioritizes individual freedoms and communal responsibility. Through this lens, Rorty presents a compelling case for the values that underpin a healthy democratic framework.
