Toward Posthumanism: Richard Rorty's Literary Theory and Cultural Criticism
by Liu Jian
About This Novel
This book traces the line of traditional humanist criticism "Neoclassicism-New Humanism-New Criticism", and uses "post-philosophical culture" as the background to analyze the post-humanist ideological characteristics of Richard Rorty's literary theory and cultural criticism. Posthumanism runs through a kind of pragmatism, finiteism and weak philosophy. It inherits and transcends traditional humanism in aspects such as literary interpretation, classics, criticism and values. Compared with Jameson, Bloom, Derrida and others, Rorty's cultural aesthetic taste lies between classical humanism, neo-romanticism and reader response criticism. He is a leftist who is not "left" enough, a rightist who is not "right" enough, and a postmodernist who is not "post" enough.
