Pluralism: Philosophy and Politics of Diversity by M. Baghramian, Attracta Ingram (Editor), Maria Baghramian (Editor)

From the Publisher

Pluralism: The Philosophy and Politics of Diversity is the first volume to open the window on philosophical pluralism and link pluralist themes in philosophy and politics. It advances recent debates on political pluralism in a range of essays that challenge or defend the association of liberalism and pluralism. The volume is divided into three parts: an investigation of the philosophical sources of pluralism, including an essay on William James; the value of pluralism and liberalism, discussing the compatibility of these ideas; and an investigation of difference in pluralism, with writing on women, ethnocultural, and the public-private distinction.

Twelve philosophers and political theorists investigate the philosophical sources of pluralism, (focusing on those tying to William James), the political dimensions of pluralism, especially as applicable to liberalism, and the practical implications of pluralism in conditions of cultural diversity. Concludes that there are, appropriately, many models for defining and understanding pluralism. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
