In recent years the implications of ""multiculturalism"" for
American society have been the subject of much debate. To some, the
term has come to denote the fragmentation of tradition and the
coherent values that derive from it. To others, it signals the
advent of a more inclusive, tolerant and genuinely democratic
society. Drawing on philosophy's long-standing concern with issues
of pluralism and relativism, on the traditions of American
pragmatism and on modern theoretical innovations, the essays in
this volume bring clarity to this discussion by analysing the
underlying values and assumptions of each side. They present a
defence of the virtues of diversity, outside as well as inside the
walls of the academy. Contributors include: Lawrence Blum, Karen
Fiser, Lawrence Foster, Nelson Lande, Tommy Lee Lott, Patricia
Mann, Jane Roland Martin, Mitchell Silver, Janet Farrell Smith and
David Wong.
An examination of women's roles, family relationships, and
sexuality in three unorthodox 19th-century communal experiments,
with analysis of the implications such systems may have for
present-day Americans concerned with the sense of crisis in family
life and sex roles.
