The thesis deals predominantly with the thought of solidarity, utopia and hope in a post-utopian era. Richard Rorty presents this issue from a leftist viewpoint which promises hope just as it has been promised multiple times by various great stories throughout history. Hope coincides with solidarity; however in times of the prevalent philosophical despair brought by capitalism, hope and solidarity are hardly ever given thought. Yet Rorty offers a way out of the post-utopian despair back to solidarity, hope and lastly to metaphysics.
