Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is an analysis of Richard Rorty’s philosophical discourse Contingency, irony and solidarity. Special attention wil l be paid to the way how post-metaphysical discourse is engaged in definite socio-political ideals. I will try to prove it is done thanks to “literary moments”. In Rorty’s discourse those moments are specific: they are language non-revolutionary because Rorty was a declared, social democratic and liberal reformist.
