Difference, diversity and disagreement are inevitable features of
our ethical, social and political landscape. This collection of new
essays investigates the ways that various ethical and religious
traditions have dealt with intramural dissent; the volume covers
nine separate traditions: Confucianism, Buddhism, Christianity,
Judaism, Islam, liberalism, Marxism, South Asian religions and
natural law. Each chapter lays out the distinctive features,
history and challenges of intramural dissent within each tradition,
enabling readers to identify similarities and differences between
traditions. The book concludes with an Afterword by Michael Walzer,
offering a synoptic overview of the challenge of intramural dissent
and the responses to that challenge. Committed to dialogue across
cultures and traditions, the collection begins that dialogue with
the common challenges facing all traditions: how to maintain
cohesion and core values in the face of pluralism, and how to do
this in a way that is consistent with the internal ethical
principles of the traditions.
