Summary/Abstract: In the paper the author presents R. Rorty’s new solution to the problem of validation of human believes and the possibility of obtaining a sort of salvation. Salvation was offered by religion, then philosophy and science. Rorty criticizes all of those efforts, because of the error in reasoning. And then proposes radical rejecting the old perspective (“pushing off the ladder”) with its zone of knowledge, and accepts instead the imperative of autocreation instead that is the demand of not being a copy of anyone or anything.
