A new edition of the highly acclaimed book "Multiculturalism and
"The Politics of Recognition,"" this paperback brings together an
even wider range of leading philosophers and social scientists to
probe the political controversy surrounding multiculturalism.
Charles Taylor's initial inquiry, which considers whether the
institutions of liberal democratic government make room--or should
make room--for recognizing the worth of distinctive cultural
traditions, remains the centerpiece of this discussion. It is now
joined by Jurgen Habermas's extensive essay on the issues of
recognition and the democratic constitutional state and by K.
Anthony Appiah's commentary on the tensions between personal and
collective identities, such as those shaped by religion, gender,
ethnicity, race, and sexuality, and on the dangerous tendency of
multicultural politics to gloss over such tensions. These
contributions are joined by those of other well-known thinkers, who
further relate the demand for recognition to issues of
multicultural education, feminism, and cultural separatism.
