Rorty, Liberal Democracy, and Religious Certainty

Viac o knihe

Exploring the intersection of religion and public discourse, the book examines the boundaries of religious arguments in debates and who determines these limits. It begins with Richard Rorty's pragmatic pluralism, advocating for a politically motivated anticlericalism. Instead of directly supporting Rorty, Gascoigne introduces 'Pragmatist Fideism,' an epistemological perspective that offers a nuanced approach to understanding faith in the context of public life.
