Abstract
Richard Rorty constructs "a poetized culture", in which literature substitutes for religion and philosophy as the leading role of culture. It is the "culture" respecting "imagination" and "liberal utopia". The "imagination" of Rorty includes not only the imagination of private perfection and human solidarity, but also the utopian imagination of the future. Rorty's "imagination" carries forward the concept of romantic literature, as well as practices the proposition of "philosophy as cultural politics" of neo-pragmatism.
