Ironism (from irony) is a theoretical and literary stance introduced by the American neopragmatist Richard Rorty in his 1989 book Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity. The concept expresses a form of self-understanding grounded in the recognition that one’s most fundamental vocabulary, sense of self, and sense of community are contingent rather than derived from objective or universal foundations.
