How plural, really, is pluralism today? In this book a prominent
political theorist reworks the traditional pluralist imagination,
rendering it more inclusive and responsive to new drives to
pluralization. Traditional pluralism, William E. Connolly shows,
gives too much priority to past political settlements, allotments
of public space and power relations already made and fixed. It
deflates the politics of pluralization. "The Ethos of
Pluralization" explores the constitutive tension between pluralism
and pluralization, pursuing an ethos of politics that enables new
forces of pluralization to find receptive responses in public life.
Connolly explores how contemporary drives to pluralize stir the
reactionary forces of political fundamentalism and how
fundamentalism generates the cultural fragmentation it purports to
resist. The reluctance of traditional pluralists to address the
tension between pluralism and pluralization plays into the hands of
fundamentalist forces. "The Ethos of Pluralization" eventually
ranges beyond the borders of the territorial state to explore
relations between the globalization of economic life and a more
adventurous pluralization of political identities. Engaging images
of pluralism and nationalism advanced by Tocqueville, Schumpeter,
Ricoeur, Walzer, Herz, and Kurth, Connolly draws selectively upon
Nietzsche, Foucault, Butler and Deleuze to delineate an ethos of
politics that makes for new identities while protecting conditions
that make pluralism and governance possible.
