This volume tackles contemporary problems of legal accommodation of
diversity in Europe and recent developments in the area in diverse
European legal regimes. Despite professing the motto Unity in
Diversity Europe appears to be struggling with discord rather than
unity. Legal discussions reflect a crisis when it comes to matters
of migration, accommodation of minorities and dealing with the
growing heterogeneity of European societies. This volume
illustrates that the current legal conundrums stem from European
oscillation between, on the one hand, acknowledging the need of
accommodation, and, on the other, the tendencies to preserve
existing legal traditions. It claims that these opposite tendencies
have led Europe to the edge of pluralism. This 'edge', just as the
linguistic interpretation of the word 'edge', carries multiple
meanings conveying a plethora of problems encountered by law when
dealing with diversity. The authors attempt to explore and
illustrate these multiple edges of pluralism tracing back their
origins and examining the contemporary legal conundrums they have
led to. The volume encourages the readers to explore whether there
are fundamental problems with approaches to diversity and if so can
they be rescued from their current precarious position. It asks
whether Europe at the edge is truly capable to unite in diversity
and develop a constructive approach to its growing pluralism. The
book is aimed at academics, practitioners and students focusing
their work on contemporary problems of diversity, multiculturalism
and accommodation of migrants as well as everybody interested in
the area.

For better or worse, Rorty has shaped the trajectory of academic
philosophy. A decade after his passing, his legacy is ever present,
especially in context of the growth of the far right, the struggle
over the meaning of justice and equity, and the ecological crises
we face. Edited by Randall Auxier, Eli Kramer, and Krzysztof Piotr
Skowronski, Rorty and Beyond brings together leading international
philosophers from the United States and Europe to reevaluate
Rorty's legacy and explore what lies beyond his life and work. This
collection covers a diverse territory, exploring Rorty's legacy
regarding theories of truth, accounts of nature and naturalism, the
historical situation of professional philosophy, the private and
public aspects of religion, the place of literature in cultural
politics, and points beyond Rorty, such as what we may hope for
after his critical attack on certainty and ultimacy. Scholars,
specialists, and those new to Rorty will all find insight, useful
criticism, and edification in this volume.
