Abstract
- The article comments on the dangers created by the idealistic nihilism advocated by philosopher Richard Rorty. It argues that resistance to a utopian, democratic society signals a political mentality that is far-right and authoritarian. It views that refusal of limits incubates demands for freedom, equality, justice and other forms of reform. It also contends that idealistic nihilism impose limits through bad actors, wicket cultural systems, racists and patriarchy, fascist and white privilege.
