摘要：The pragmatism of Richard Rorty has as one of the unique fact of assigning the full moral significance of literature rather than the pretentious philosophical requirement that puts morality in a straight line of ethics. Once the philosophical descriptions of a universal nature, are not able to push individuals to moral progress without suggesting a particular political conception undesirable, Rorty understands that literature, whose vocabulary intends to sketch the faces of a particular answer, rather than the actual philosophy, to our ethical demands. This is possible because the literary descriptions environment the individuals under its own condition finite and contingent, which doubles the magnification of loyalty and moral progress, in references to the pain of others. In this sense, a culture that inherits its moral vocabulary of the literature can be carried out more fully in order to promote a greater degree of happiness and eradication of the sufferings of its components from a culture whose moral compass is the result of metaphysical speculation. In this article, I approach this side moral of literature as part of the moral order designed to ethical ideals in a liberal democratic setting.
