Abstract

The postmodern age has come to challenge not only the ethos of social modernistic claims, but enroaches upon the theological territory of the evangelical faith. It purposes to reduce religious doctrine to metaphoric myth and diminishes Truth to fictional illusion. The Postmodern age promises to be greater than the industrial revolution, a watershed of shifting reason permeating university, theatre, and politics. All of which have dire consequences upon the meaning of national solidarity, family, values, morality and Truth. The topic 'The American dreamer' discusses Richard Rorty's philosophic contributions necessary for the solidification of the postmodern agenda, to know his passion to dismantle traditional objective rationale, and to establish a social utopia whose center is without God. The task is directed toward practical disciplines necessary to discern the mindset and sensibilities of the age. The information will aid the reader to better recognize societal foundations formed by Richard Rorty's contributions necessary for societal and humanistic evolution. The purpose is to direct Christians to develop personal and corporate maturity, with an ability to dialogue with individuals whose mindset is one of religious and moral uncertainty in a world on the road to madness.
