Abstract

By challenging the traditional philosophy of the West, which he believes has led to various useless theoretical duplications throughout the history of philosophy, he tries to deconstruct the various issues of philosophy and eliminate these dualities in the context of a "culture of literary salvation.” By creating a dividing line between the private sphere and the public sphere, Rorty seeks to determine the contribution of philosophers to theoretical and philosophical views, and to argue that the sphere of politics does not need to base and obtain its principles from individual criteria of the private sphere; What sets the stage for philosophers' metaphysical ambitions? It is as if Rorty, by reducing philosophy to literature, wants to prevent the ambitions and interventions of philosophers through theorizing. He believes that by distinguishing between the private and public spheres of politics, the philosopher's tool and his field of thought is literary culture and his position is the private sphere. In this article, we will try to describe Rorty's utopia and analyze his claims from different angles.
