Produktbeschreibung
The Cold War ideological battle with universal aspirations has given way to a clash of cultures as the world concurrently moves toward globalization of economies and communications and balkanization through a clash of ethnic and cultural identities. Traditional liberal theory has confronted daunting challenges in coping with these changes and with recent developments such as the spread of postmodern thought, religious fundamentalism and global terrorism. This book argues that a political and legal philosophy based on pluralism is best suited to confront the problems of the twenty-first century. Pointing out that monist theories such as liberalism have become inadequate and that relativism is dangerous, the book makes the case for pluralism from the standpoint of both theory and its applications. The book engages with thinkers, such as Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, Rawls, Berlin, Dworkin, Habermas and Derrida and with several subjects that are at the center of current controversies.

Rezensionen
"Michel Rosenfeld began a project more than a dozen years ago of articulating a doctrine of 'comprehensive pluralism' that could respond to the problems that liberal democratic societies face, given the facts of both reasonable and unreasonable challenges to the core values of the Enlightenment project. Sadly, events since 9/11 have made the political and normative task he set for himself even more urgent, a testament to the prescience of that early work. His new book tackles the problems of the present, exemplified in the confrontation between the West and the Muslim 'other', with great frankness and clarity. Once again the reader is treated to the rare talent of a thinker who is genuinely himself pluralist, and who can thus show that mainstream political philosophy and constitutional and legal theory, on the one hand, and postmodern and social theories, on the other, are engaged in a common debate in which all have something valuable to contribute."
