Romanticism and pragmatism : Richard Rorty and the idea of a poeticized culture

Schulenberg, Ulf, 1966-

2015

Overview

\"Romanticism and Pragmatism offers a new and original perspective by elucidating how pragmatism, humanism, anti-authoritarianism, and postmetaphysics are linked and is the first monograph to offer a detailed discussion of Richard Rorty's idea of a literary or poeticized culture. It argues that pragmatism's use of Romanticism is an integral part of a modern antifoundationalist story of progress, and that it can help us appreciate the significance of Romanticism in the twenty-first century. It also analyses the relation between pragmatism and race (and cosmopolitanism), and approaches the question of a pragmatist literary ethics\"-- Provided by publisher.
