Abstract

This paper explores some relationships between the idea of a post-Philosophical culture and the contemporary consumer society. For this reason, first of all, we explain the meaning of the idea in its link with his author's general philosophical position, Richard Rorty (section 1). Then, in order to develop an alternative interpretation, we resort to young Marx's classical concept of praxis (section 2) and its contemporary use into David Harvey's historical and geographical perspective of capitalism development (section 3). Finally, we offer three reasonings and by means of them we evaluate critically the link between literary modernism and philosophical pragmatism, the idea of a post-Philosophical culture and Rorty's general position respectively to show that, just the opposite of questioning contemporary consumer society, his philosophy seems to be adapted perfectly to it (section 4).
