About

Ironism is the commitment to seeing the world with the idea that there are contingencies in history. [1]

Background=

This concept of ironism roots from Richard Rorty who based off Pragmatism from ironism. It is important to understand the contingencies that the world has since they allow us to "experiment with vocabularies which people concocted" from history. [2]
