Human rights and their principles of interpretation are the leading
legal paradigms of our time. Freedom of religion occupies a pivotal
position in rights discourses, and the principles supporting its
interpretation receive increasing attention from courts and
legislative bodies. This book critically evaluates religious
pluralism as an emerging legal principle arising from attempts to
define the boundaries of freedom of religion. It examines religious
pluralism as an underlying aspect of different human rights regimes
and constitutional traditions. It is, however, the static and
liberal shape religious pluralism has assumed that is taken up
critically here. In order to address how difference is vulnerable
to elimination, rather than recognition, the book takes up a
contemporary ethics of alterity. More generally, and through its
reconstruction of a more difference-friendly vision of religious
pluralism, it tackles the problem of the role of rights in the era
of diverse narratives of emancipation.
