Abstract

According to Rorty, pragmatic philosophy asserts that it must play a role in determining the cultural politics, i. e. “which hopes and which programs for actions it must offer for a better future”. Based on Apel’s ethics of consensus and on the power of the best argument presented by Habermas, the social consensus appears to be able to regulate the total experiment of the human being with itself, and to identify the common needs and standards for a social reason of fairness. This pragmatic consensus to establish the rule of reason over desire, however, is based on a false image of the human being. In contrast, the experiment of the human being with itself can only be regulated by a judgment of truth on the human action and the human desire. The logic of truth only regulates this social experiment if the judgment of truth is actually shared between objectives and results.
