Abstract
When readers examine Neopragmatic philosopher Richard Rorty's theories of Solidarity, Romantic tolerance, and the Redescription method to help people, they are unconsciously shocked by the possibility of his thinking about "salvation" while he was secular. Of course, considering the events of September 11th and Western secularists' loss of social hope, it can be logical that he reversed to theology, but he never ultimately gave up his beliefs about being secular. Regarding the nearness that his philosophical theories have, albeit at an inferior level, to the lofty beliefs of the Iranian mystic Mowlana Jalaluddin Mowlavi, the question arises for the readers whether Richard Rorty is secular or his problem is with the new and distorted reading of religion and Christianity. Yet, considering his theories about the justified behavior of Ironist citizens in his utopia, whose moral qualities are equal to question arises: Rorty really remained secular until the end. Ultimately, this article aims to reach an appropriate answer to this subject by comparing their writings, morals, similarities, and possible differences.
