An epistemological and moral premise of "justice as wider loyalty” in Richard Rorty

Abstract

This text has three parts. The first exposes the Richard Rorty’s epistemological point of view showing why correspondence truth has to be abandoned in pragmatism. The second presents the author's moral vision which defends a modern moral conversion through the moral progress given by a relational self. The third part deals from these methodological assumptions, the idea of "justice as wider loyalty,” while criticizing the Rawls’ justice model.
