Pluralism 

The problem of value pluralism permeates modern political
philosophy. Its presence can be felt even when it is not explicitly
the central topic under investigation. Political thinkers such as
Max Weber, Isaiah Berlin and Stuart Hampshire derive pessimistic,
sometimes tragic, conclusions from their reflections upon
pluralism. On the other hand, there is a more optimistic view
represented by John Rawls and Jürgen Habermas that sees value
pluralism as a problem that is easier to live with. This book
presents the first accessible overview for both post- and
undergraduate students of the way in which this problem has been
understood and responded to by modern political thinkers.
