The authors of this volume explore the tensions and dilemmas that
impact pluralism and homogeneity in modern societies. This is the
first work in this field in which the frame of discussion is a
comparative civilizational analysis. It focuses on issues that are
at the heart of the contemporary human experience and culture. The
contributors to this book, renowned scholars from all over the
world, tackle these issues by referring to different temporal and
spatial settings. This book is in homage to Shmuel Noah Eisenstadt.
We honor his ground-breaking work in the comparative study of
modernities and civilizations. Contributors are: Jeffrey C.
