RORTY, RICHARD

Rorty: each of us operates from a final vocabulary — the words we cannot argue past, because we use them to argue. CoCA's Lexicon is the final vocabulary in shareware form. Concept. Liturgy. Appropriation. Anti-Anti-Ness. Reverence. Authorlessness. These are not arguable; they are the conditions under which we argue. The Church distributes its final vocabulary for free. The applicant may adopt. The applicant may decline. The vocabulary remains.
