罗蒂从语言的偶然性出发展开对传统镜像哲学的批判，并设想了一个反讽的自由主义文化作为社会未来之希望。这种文化中的理想成员是自由主义的反讽主义者，他们既渴望最大限度地实现私人创造，又能以“我们”意识促进公共团结。罗蒂相信，只要能区分开私人领域的语汇和公共领域的语汇，反讽的自由主义文化就有实现的可能。罗蒂的设想招致许多非议，这些非议都忽视了罗蒂提出设想的初衷和目的，罗蒂的初衷是强调理想的社会中不应该存在一个绝对的权威资源来作优劣之分的评判，他的目的是促使人们放弃对超验事物的追求，转而追求俗世的幸福。

Richard Rorty criticizes the traditional mirrorlike philosophy by presenting the contingency of language, and then proposes an ironic liberal culture as the hope for the future of the society. The ideal members in this culture are those called liberal ironists, who are eager to maximize their private creation and also can promote public solidarity through the sense of ＂us＂. Rorty believes that as long as we separate the private vocab- ulary from the public vocabulary, the ironic liberal culture could be possible. Rorty＇s i- dea causes a lot of criticism which ignores Rorty＇s original intention and purpose. Rorty＇s original intention is to emphasize that in an ideal society there should not exist an absolute authority resource as a judge for better or worse. His purpose is to encour- age people to pursue the earthly happiness instead of transcendental things.
