contingency, irony, solidarity, language, redescriptionAbstract
We critically present Richard Rorty’s utopia of a society built on the axes of irony, contingency and solidarity, in which language and literature play a fundamental role. It is pointed out how a dialogue with Vattimo leads Rorty to discover that in Christianity charity can replace contingency.
