Abstract

This paper develops the pragmatic “atheoreticism” of Quine and Rorty. A position I dub “postpragmatism”—paralleling the post phases of modernism and humanism—my purpose here is to bring to a culmination what Quine and Rorty started decades before. By doing so, I argue, it becomes possible for Quine, and more so Rorty, to avoid the most common critiques of their atheoretic form of pragmatism. Chief among them, that it is mired in self-contradiction. Rather than rely upon theory to justify atheoreticism—the very stuff of their self-contradiction—I rely instead upon Rorty’s own insouciance, syncretism, and eclecticism to shift the ground of debate from concern with what is justified to concern with what is interesting.

后实用主义:奎因、罗蒂和彻底的无神论
本文发展了奎因和罗蒂的实用主义 "无神论"。我把这一立场称为 "后实用主义"--与现代主义和人文主义的后阶段相仿--我在这里的目的是要把奎因和罗蒂几十年前就开始的东西推向高潮。我认为,通过这样做,奎因,尤其是罗蒂,就有可能避免对他们的实用主义的无神论形式最常见的批评。其中最主要的批评是,它陷入了自我矛盾。与其依靠理论来证明无神论的合理性--这正是他们自我矛盾的根源--我倒是依靠罗蒂自己的轻率、综合主义和折衷主义,把辩论的立足点从关注什么是合理的转向关注什么是有趣的。
