David B. Wong proposes that there can be a plurality of true
moralities, moralities that exist across different traditions and
cultures, all of which address facets of the same problem: how we
are to live well together. Wong examines a wide array of positions
and texts within the Western canon as well as in Chinese
philosophy, and draws on philosophy, psychology, evolutionary
theory, history, and literature, to make a case for the importance
of pluralism in moral life, and to establish the virtues of
acceptance and accommodation. Wong's point is that there is no
single value or principle or ordering of values and principles that
offers a uniquely true path for human living, but variations
according to different contexts that carry within them a common
core of human values. We should thus be modest about our own
morality, learn from other approaches, and accommodate different
practices in our pluralistic society.
