摘　　要：以柏拉图为代表的传统西方哲学认为世界存在本质,个体的意义在于发现本质真理,找到统一的基础。而当代美国哲学家理查德·罗蒂则认为所谓本质不过是一种虚妄。借助反讽概念,罗蒂批判了传统哲学的本质主义,认为世界充满着偶然性和不确定性。德性和幸福都是无法论证的,二者的统一,是偶尔有之。他还提出将公共和私人领域加以区分,一个真正的自由主义社会应该赞成创造才是个人进步的关键。同时,罗蒂也主张,在追求独特的同时,要理解他人的终极语汇,最大可能地减少残酷,加强团结。Traditional Western philosophy represented by Plato holds that there is an essence in the world,and that the significance of the individual lies in discovering the essential truth and in finding the basis for unity.However,contemporary American philosopher Richard Rorty,on the other hand,argues that the so-called essence is nothing but a delusion.Drawing on the concept of irony,Rorty criticizes the essentialism of traditional philosophy and argues that the world is full of contingency and uncertainty.Neither virtue nor happiness can be proved and their unity is occasional.He also proposes a distinction between the public and private spheres,and that a genuinely liberal society should favor creativity as the key to individual progress.At the same time,Rorty argues for the pursuit of uniqueness while understanding the ultimate vocabulary of others,minimizing cruelty and strengthening solidarity.
