Arguing that justification of knowledge is a matter of its acceptance by the community, Rorty reduces social relations to the discursive (intertextual or dialogical) ones. Thereby he faces a number of theoretical difficulties. Rorty’s willingness to substitute the idea of objectivity for that of solidarity is at odds with his socio-ethnocentrism. Antirepresentationalist attitude is not shared by the overwhelming majority of Rorty’s ‘cultural peers’, not to mention professional philosophers, but he strongly holds to antirepresentationalism, considering it to be sufficiently justified, not caring about what others think and whether such a strategy is politically relevant or desirable from a pragmatic point of view. Consequently, he endorses the picture of warrant as independent of communal opinion. Western (Anglo-Saxon) ethnocentrism, Rorty argues, is of a special kind: it is the ethnocentrism of a “we-community” (“we liberals”) which is dedicated to enlarging itself and creating more and more variegated, inclusive and heterogeneous society. It’s a worldview of a liberal “ironist” and cosmopolitan who is always aware of the contingency of her language and moral self, and who “has radical and continuing doubts about the final vocabulary she currently uses”. But to say, with Rorty, “We are lucky that our ethnocentrism is based on distrust of itself,” amounts to recognize the truth of anti-ethnocentrism. One who believes in cultural and social progress towards “a global, cosmopolitan, democratic, egalitarian, classless, casteless society” is de facto anti-ethnocentrist. Even if he denies it verbally.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Концепт «солидарности», одно из ключевых понятий коммунитаристской социальной теории, занимает центральное место в философских построениях позднего Р. Рорти. Настаивая на презумпции обоснованности/оправданности знания, принимаемого культурным сообществом, Рорти сводит социальные отношения к дискурсивным, интертекстуально-диалогическим. При этом он сталкивается с рядом трудностей. Стремление философа отбросить идею объективности в пользу «солидарности» идет вразрез с постулируемым им этноцентризмом. Теоретическая позиция Рорти (антирепрезентационизм, эпистемологический анархизм, критика корреспондентной теории истины и т.д.) не пользуется поддержкой со стороны его профессиональных коллег и «широкой аудитории», однако это не мешает философу, называющему себя прагматистом, считать ее обоснованной (justified), игнорируя коллективное мнение и не заботясь о том, насколько такая стратегия прагматична или политически релевантна. Западный (англосаксонский) этноцентризм, утверждает Рорти, особого рода: это этноцентризм «мы-сообщества» («мы - либералы»), стремящегося к саморасширению и созданию еще более инклюзивного, пестрого и гетерогенного социума. Это - мировоззренческая позиция либерально настроенного «ироника» и космополита, сознающего историческую случайность собственной идентичности, языка и нравственного сознания, «радикально и беспрестанно сомневающегося в словаре, которым пользуется». Но сказать, вместе с Рорти: «Нам повезло, что наш этноцентризм основан на недоверии к самому себе», - может только тот, кто признает истину антиэтноцентризма. Человек, верящий в социальный прогресс, в осуществимость утопического проекта «глобального, космополитичного, демократического, эгалитарного, бесклассового и бескастового общества», де-факто является антиэтноцентристом. Даже если на словах он отрицает это.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>solidarity</kwd><kwd>truth</kwd><kwd>agreement</kwd><kwd>representationalism</kwd><kwd>community</kwd><kwd>irony</kwd><kwd>ethnocentrism</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>солидарность</kwd><kwd>истина</kwd><kwd>соглашение</kwd><kwd>репрезентационизм</kwd><kwd>сообщество</kwd><kwd>ирония</kwd><kwd>этноцентризм</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Rorty R.
