In recent years, Rorty’s anti-authoritarianism has been repeatedly associated with the loss of truth and a post-factual age. At the same time, Rorty is presented as a strict opponent of such positions. How is it that the same thinker who is held responsible for a postmodern decline is also to be understood as the most severe critic? To answer this question, this paper reconstructs Rorty’s anti-authoritarianism as a practice of solidarity by referring to his theory of recognition and virtue of contingency. Subsequently, it can be shown why the accusations of post-facticity and ethnocentrism fall short. On the contrary, because his theory combines different political archetypes, the paper presents Rorty’s description of anti-authoritarianism as a social paradigm of contemporary societies.

作为自由文化的反威权主义：社群主义和自由主义批评之间的理查德·罗蒂

近年来，罗蒂的反威权主义一再与真理的丧失和后事实时代联系在一起。同时，罗蒂被描绘成这种立场的坚决反对者。为什么要对后现代衰落负责的同一个思想家也被理解为最严厉的批评家？为了回答这个问题，本文参照罗蒂的承认理论和偶然性美德，将罗蒂的反威权主义重构为一种团结实践。随后，可以说明为什么对后事实性和种族中心主义的指责是不成立的。相反，由于他的理论结合了不同的政治原型，本文将罗蒂对反威权主义的描述描述为当代社会的社会范式。
