520 |a This paper by Dennis L. Sansom examines and compares the ideas about the nature of the self in the twelfth-century theologian St. Peter of Damaskos and the twenty-first-century philosopher Richard Rorty. Peter understands the self as a flexible reality defined by a person’s ability to orient intentions, desires, and beliefs toward ever increasingly important ontological relationships. Rorty understands the self to be completely self-made through a continual effort to recreate oneself by applying the relevant metaphors proper to living in an utterly contingent society and disenchanted world. The paper’s conclusion shows that Rorty’s goal fails to secure a self for the modern person trying to live without any foundations or hopes but that Peter’s goal succeeds in securing a self through the contemplative search for God.
