Thank you for your answers. I must admit I had not read the Forum Rules before this. My bad
. I assume you Scott are refering to these ones:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=12#p12
Was my fault particularly regarding the following?

Do not post a topic which only asks for one-word answers. You can use an article, video, image, short poem or other quote as the basis for your own philosophical argument or question or as elaboration of one of your points, but you still must add your own philosophical question or argument in your own words. Please see this post elaborating on this rule against preaching, which does not merely apply to religious topics but applies to all topics. The topic must qualify independently as argument or as elaborated, well-specified philosophical questioning (meaning tacking a simple question onto a post that would otherwise be preaching is not sufficient).
If so, I would suggest adding the following to the paragraph: "please no questions requesting interpretations of philosophical schools, authors, nor their concepts".

The forum is for discussing philosophy not for doing your school assignments for you.
Changing subject, since Foolso4 mentioned it. I wanted to clarify I'm not exactly doing my school assignment. I'm just choosing the main authors and concepts for my PhD thesis proposal. I had a few doubts about Rorty's ideas on ethics and I was hoping I could converse with someone about them. If the wording of my questions gave the idea of a homework assignment it probably is because for years I have been a teacher. I suppose it was natural for me to write my questions like that
