Sumario: | Integral Pluralism: Beyond Culture Wars provides a comprehensive view of modern culture wars by analyzing several interrelated themes, including the concept of the political, political theology, and post-secular religion. Each of these themes sheds light on the complexity of cultural conflicts and evokes the need for integral pluralism. The author argues that only by revising the world's understanding of pluralism as radical fragmentation can society hope for more peaceful development. Critically comparing integral pluralism against the theories of Carl Schmitt, the Religious Right, international "realism," and so-called political Islam and drawing, on the works of William James, Martin Heidegger, Hans-Georg Gadamer, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Dallmayr offers pathways beyond the ingrained conflicts of our time. He also revisits the work of Gandhi as an example of integral pluralism in practice. --From publisher's description. |
