Rorty, Liberal Democracy, and Religious Certainty

Exploring the intersection of religion and public discourse, the book delves into whether there are boundaries to religious arguments in civic debates and who determines these limits. Drawing from Richard Rorty's pragmatic pluralism, it critiques his advocacy for anticlericalism, positioning instead a concept termed 'Pragmatist Fideism.' This approach seeks to reconcile faith and reason within a pragmatic framework, challenging traditional views on atheism and religious discourse in the public sphere.
