Is pluralism inherent to the human condition? Does it have its
origins in the diversity of cultures? Are disagreements among
individuals the same as disagreements among societies? Focusing on
these critical questions essential to the understanding of modern
societies, this book traces the origins of pluralism in
contemporary political thought and presents new, original
interpretations of the idea by contemporary philosophers. The
chapters in the volume bring clarity into an ongoing fractious
debate and reveal the underlying roots and fissures in our
understanding of a dynamic and contested idea. Drawing on the works
of John Rawls, Jurgen Habermas, and other major political
philosophers, they delve into the different strands of the concept,
their possible real-world political outcomes, and popular
misconceptions. A key text, this volume will be essential reading
for scholars and researchers of politics, political theory and
philosophy, and social theory.
