Resumen
La obra política de Richard Rorty ha reunido, en un único tejidonarrativo, las esperanzas sociales del igualitarismo liberal con las exigencias filosóficas del antiesencialismo posmoderno. En consecuencia, al momento de justificar” las instituciones de la democracia liberal, la filosofía política rortyana no apela a fundamentos metafísicos o trascendentales firmemente establecidos, sino más bien a idealizaciones, esto es, a constructos narrativos que permiten enfatizar aquellos componentes de nuestras prácticas políticas que creemos valiosos y minimizar aquellos que consideramos prescindibles. En el presente trabajo, analizaremos dos de las idealizaciones utilizadas por Rorty para resumir los propósitos de su democracia liberal, a saber, la del bazar kuwaití –imagen dela escisión entre las esferas pública y privada– y la de la familia –arquetipo de las relaciones que han de promoverse en el marco de las sociedades liberales–. Entendemos que tales recursos narrativos no solo expresan la naturaleza de suproyecto político, sino que dan cuenta de sus limitaciones al momento de realizar su objetivo fundamental: la expansión de la solidaridad.
From the Bazaar to the Family: A Critical Approach to Rortyan Political ‘Idealizations’”. Richard Rorty’s political work has united, in a unique narrative, the social hopes of liberal egalitariasm with the philosophical anti-essentialism of postmodernism. As a consequence, when Rorty’s political philosophy justifies” the institutions of liberal democracy it does not appeal to metaphysical or transcendent fundamentals firmly established; however, it does appeal to idealizations, to narrative constructions that allow emphasizing those componentsof our political practices that we think are worthy and minimize those that we think are secondary. This article analyzes two of the idealizations used by Rorty to summarize the purposes of his liberal democracy: Kuwaiti bazaar -images of the separation between public and private sphere- and of the family -archetype of the relations that should be promoted in liberal societies. These narratives resources not only express the nature of his political project but also show the limitations at the moment of realizing his main objective: the expansion of solidarity.
