Abstract
Rorty seeks for a society in which the possibility to communicate and discuss freely is available and any restriction imposed on the discussion in the social institutions is regarded as immoral. In his opinion, there should be solidarity in the society. A society in which there are disagreement, division, and distrust among its members is collapsed inwardly. Rorty resorts to the language and the negation of modern rationality as two key topics in order to achieve an ideal society. He is going to reconstruct the atmosphere of modernized society by the new terms and a different definition of language, and lead the society to unity and a permissive communication toward achieving agreement and discernment because he believes that there may be a connection between the life meaning of a person to any other persons. An explanatory analytical based library method has been utilized in order to meet the purpose of the very study. The purpose of this study is completely different from the erstwhile research; that is, as mentioned earlier, to achieve peaceful coexistence by a new definition of rationality.
