This paper aims to explore the meaning of the concept of citizenship and its implications for education from the perspective of American post-metaphysical philosopher, or neo-pragmatist, Richard Rorty. It consists of the following four parts: 1) the first part gives a brief introduction of Rorty’s philosophy; 2) the second part discusses the meanings of the concept of citizenship from the view of Rorty and Rorty’s responses to the notions of J. Habermas and J. Rawls; 3) the third part discusses the process of developing the Rortian citizen as liberal ironist in education; and 4) the final part concludes with suggestions that Rorty’s view might have to improve our current education.
