%X Rorty's historicist romanticism is a peculiar and oft criticized feature of his neopragmatism. I attempt to show that it should be regarded not so much as a more or less exceptionable philosophical approach, but rather, as a practice in ¡®cultural politics¡¯¡ªwhich is his ultimate definition for philosophy¡ªprompted by his acute political concerns and his views on the nature of moral progress.
