This book poses the question: How can we organize society in such a
way that our disagreement about facts and norms works to the
benefit of everyone? In response, it makes the argument for
polycentric democracy, a political arrangement consisting of
various political units that enjoy different degrees of
independence. It is argued that to progress towards justice, we
first need to change our attitude towards reasonable disagreement.
Theorists have always viewed reasonable disagreement as nuisance,
if not as a threat. However, this work puts forward that the
diversity of perspectives which underlie reasonable disagreement
should be viewed as a resource to be harvested rather than a threat
to be tamed. Resting on two key arguments, the author proposes the
idea of polycentric democracy as the most capable method of making
pluralism productive. The book explores what such a political order
might look like and concludes that only an institutional system
which is capable of profiting from diversity, such as polycentric
democracy, might reasonably be expected to generate an overlapping
consensus. Continuing in the tradition of Karl Popper and Friedrich
August von Hayek, this book lies at the intersection of philosophy,
political economy and political theory. It will be of great
interest to academics and scholars working in philosophy, politics
and economics.
