l legit went through this thinking they were in 2015 due to the upload date until they started talking about Clinton. lt's crazy how much the issues being discussed apply today, particularly identity politics and globalization.

The Brilliance of America can be measured by the fact that this video after 2 years only has 4.3 thousand views. What a display of intellect in a country of over 300 million in which allegedly over 35 % of people attended university.

Rorty's wish in a way came to fruition, as national health insurance is center-stage and has done a lot of work in the way of uniting the left across racial and gender categories in the past decade.

The reason why Clinton did not take a more left wing stance and pushed for those issues is due to lobbyism and the corporate financing of political campains in America. Finaly that aspect is being adressed in the public sphere.

MACK I don’t disagree, but Clinton did end with a lot of unused political capital ... seems like he could at least have again tried to improve access to healthcare.

Rorty uses the concept of a secular society being more 'grown-up' than a religious society (and a society that has stopped asking the question 'what corresponds more to reality?' is more grown-up than one that still does). But does the way he uses 'more grown-up' not simply mean 'more in correspondence with a true human nature'? Thereby using a non-human abstract concept (something he opposes).
@futureaztec51094 жыл бұрын
No, its that there was a temptation to just lean on God to answer everything, as one might try to rest arguments about human rights on natural facts. In following Dewey, Rorty wants us to make a similar transition away from 'obeying the Holy Father', toward recognizing whats best for the town; just as he would like us to read the experts in their own disciplines about what they have to offer, rather than try to come up with some sort of systematic technique that would sort the wheat from the chaff without getting our hands dirty.

Where are you getting the concept of a true human nature from and why do you need it?
@ianfryer Жыл бұрын
I think I see what you are saying, if you are referring to Rorty's approval of Dewey's Darwinian perspective - we are animals coping with our environment. I can understand the temptation to see this as an appeal to our true human nature (as evolved animals). However, surely Rorty would cash this out the same way he pragmatically deals with every other successful scientific theory. It's only your own conception of science (as being closer to truth or reality) which would make Rorty contradict himself, and he doesn't share that conception. All that matters to Rorty is that seeing ourselves as evolved animals solves some problems. Pragmatists invert the usual order of causation - they say "It doesn't solve the problems because it's true. Rather, we call it true because it solves the problems". I'm not sure if I agree, but this is Rorty's position.

The fundamental concept of God is the foundation for which all things, seen and unseen, rest. This is the foundation on which fundamental values rights and understandings are ultimately justified, even when branching out and attempting to escape their ultimate foundation. Mere secular materialist subjectivism is the definition of blinding arrogance and failure.
