Ironism

Ironism (n. ironist; from irony) is a term coined by Richard Rorty for the concept that allows rhetorical scholars to actively participate in political practices. It is usually described as a modernist literary intellectual's project of fashioning the best possible self through continual redescription. With this concept, Rorty argues for a contingency that rejects necessity and universality in relation to the ideas of language, self, and community.
