민주사회와 교육에 대한 로티(Richard Rorty)의 비전

Richard Rorty"s Visions of Democracy and Education

&nbsp;&nbsp;Rorty has been considered and studied as a great postmodernist and neopragmatist philosopher of the twentieth and twernty-first centuries. His &quot;pragmatic turn&quot; of philosophy from metaphysical foundationalism to pragmatist anti-foundationalism made philosophy more amicable to political delineation of social hope.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;This study examines Richard Rorty&quot;s visions of liberal democracy and education, especially his attitude toward the philosophical grounding for politics, his delineation of ‘postmodernist bourgeois liberalism&quot;, and the relationships among his major concepts of philosophy, politics, and education. I conclude that Rorty made a success in making philosophy light-minded and thereby making intact the relationships among the three concepts above mentioned, but his efforts to make ‘the liberal ironist&quot; look good have only a half success.
