The article investigates the use of the term “Law” in Richard Rorty and suggests an alternative use of the word. Although Rorty’s anti-foundationalism and antirepresentationalism are well known specially in relation to the metaphysical grounds of the human sciences, I argue that he would employ the term “law” in important rhetorical contexts. The text proposes to identify some aspects of the Rortyan Approach to “law” and, at the same time, focuses on the environment and the professional activity of the jurists (...) in this context. At the end, I suggest a different use of the term, in the sense of a literary and conversational art (an artistic ability). This use of the term shall be understood as a provisional suggestion for narrative purposes and seems to partly escape a rigorous Rortyan view. If the practice of law was for the romans not only a “science”, but also an “art” (ars), so it can be for those that act in the juridical practice today a practice of prudence qua art. (shrink)

O presente artigo pretende mostrar como a análise de Andy Warhol feita por ArthurDanto expõe uma espécie de meta-teoria da própria filosofia de Arthur Danto. Minha hipótese é que Danto usa Warhol para explicar a si mesmo. Arelação entre arte e filosofia-questão fundamental da obra de Danto-corresponde à relação entre o próprio Danto e Andy Warhol. Em última instância, é pos sível que, por meio da análise dessas relações, possamos entender o nexo entre o fazer artístico e filosófico em nosso (...) tempo, apontando para novas compreensões tanto da arte quanto da filosofia.This article aims to show how the analysis that Danto does of Andy Warhol outlines a kind of meta-theory of the former’s own philosophy.My hypothesis is that Danto uses Warhol to explain himself. The relation between art and philosophy–fundamental question of Danto’s work –corresponds to the relation between Danto himself and Andy Warhol. Ultimately, it is possible that, through the analyses of these relations we understand the link between the artistic and philosophica l work in our timing pointing to new comprehensions both art and philosophy.
