Starting with Richard Rorty’s critique of reason, this book discusses modernity’s legitimation crisis in political discourse. Rorty, Public Reason, and Modernity's Crisis of Critique explores the contemporary crisis of rational justification and collective will-formation in our current political institutions and the public sphere, arguing that there is an array of untapped rational resources that should be deployed to justify social, political, and economic views, agendas, and programs. It also identifies limits to the powers of public reason to generate rational agreement and collective will-formation. Using a critical analysis of Rorty’s non-foundationalist perspective as a vehicle to study modernity’s project of rational critique, Ivan Marquez highlights both the strengths and promise and the weaknesses and limitations of liberal and democratic societies—especially within pluralistic socio-cultural contexts—and some possible ways to work within this space of possibilities and constraints. Ultimately, this book can be seen as elaborating a political epistemology view that argues for a redefinition of philosophy and defends a type of post-metaphysical culture.

Reviews for Rorty, Public Reason, and Modernity's Crisis of Critique

""As we witness the decline of the west, we turn to sources of hope. One such has been the work of Richard Rorty--sensible and balanced--the best of the worldly philosophers. A useful book and a stimulating revisitation, Ivan Marquez takes us back to radical pluralism and the hope of reform with Rorty. Together we cling to the surfaces in the hope of radical democracy. Rorty's legacy lives on.""
