Richard Rorty is one of the most influential American philosophers after World War Ⅱ. In order to demonstrate the complexity of political genealogy of the left, he re-narrates the history of American leftism. The Reformist leftist wishes to revive social conflict and improve economical situation of the working class by making the constitution function properly. The contribution of the intellectuals is acting as the medium between the top and the bottom classes. Rorty highlights that the New Left destroys this tradition. They attack American institution fiercely and portray it as morally defective. They believe that the working class can acquire dignity by eliminating the psychology of maltreat. They also break the relationship with labor union and worship a sort of cultural revolution. Rorty believes that the New Left must abandon the indulgence in theorizing social problems, and work with labor unions to improve the well-being of the disadvantaged.
