In so-called post-factual societies, where public debates are
undermined by their false or misleading premises, philosophers who
have reflected on diversity and pluralism can offer a critical and
clarifying perspective through which to evaluate the statements of
politicians and the media. Felix Mathieu offers a theoretical,
empirical, and normative analysis of the debates surrounding the
accommodation of ethnocultural and societal diversity in
contemporary liberal democracies. With a close lens on Canada, he
looks at case studies in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands to
test political leaders' and analysts' claims of successful
accommodation and pluralism. Taking Pluralism Seriously provides a
clear, fair, and helpful summary of the debate so far in order to
understand the promises and pitfalls associated with theories of
multiculturalism, interculturalism, federalism, and multinational
democracy, investigating the conditions that might make it possible
for different national communities to become fully empowered,
politically and culturally. Taking Pluralism Seriously invites
readers to explore questions of pluralism and accommodation and
proposes political reforms to meet the challenges arising from
diversity, while considering some of the most pressing concerns
complex societies are facing today.
