In the wake of what has come to be called the 'cultural turn', it
is often asked how the state should respond to the different and
sometimes conflicting justice claims made by its citizens and what,
ultimately, is the purpose of justice in culturally diverse
societies. Building upon the work of a diversity of theorists, this
book demonstrates that there is a distinct 'epistemic' tradition of
liberalism that can be used to critique contemporary responses to
cultural diversity and their underlying principles of justice. It
critically examines multicultural, nationalist and liberal
egalitarian approaches and argues that an epistemic account of
liberalism, that emphasises social complexity rather than cultural
diversity or homogeneity, is the most appropriate response to the
question of justice in modern culturally diverse societies.
Epistemic Liberalism will be of interest to students and scholars
of contemporary political theory and philosophy, liberal political
theory and the politics of culture and identity.
