How should the State respond to the different identity-based
justice claims made by its citizens? To what extent should majority
societies accede to the claims of immigrant groups whose values are
so different to, and sometimes in conflict with, their own? Drawing
on the work of economist and political theorist Friederich Hayek,
the author builds a major critique of contemporary responses to
cultural diversity and their underlying principles of justice.
Critically examining multicultural, nationalist and liberal
egalitarian approaches, the author claims that in their differing
ways these schools of thought fail to recognise the proper task of
cultural justice. Tebble claims one of the principal tasks of
justice is to go beyond the provision of institutions that assume a
particular conception of the good, or of an idealised vision of
relations between different communities and the values they
endorse. Instead, the book emphasises the need for strictly neutral
institutions, founded upon the commitment to individual freedom and
equality, that permit the discovery of what cultural justice
requires. Epistemological Liberalism seeks to defend an
epistemological' account of liberalism that emphasises social
complexity rather than cultural diversity or homogeneity and which,
it is claimed, is the most appropriate response to the challenge
facing modern, culturally diverse societies. An invaluable
contribution to contemporary debates about justice, this book will
be of interest to students and scholars of culture and identity,
contemporary political theory/philosophy and liberal political
theory.
