Liberal Pluralism: The Implications of Value Pluralism for Political Theory and

Description: Liberal Pluralism by William A. Galston No contemporary actor has William Galstons status as both a political philosopher and political actor. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description William Galston is a distinguished political philosopher whose work is informed by the experience of having also served from 1993-1995 as President Clintons Deputy Assistant for Domestic Policy. He is thus able to speak with an authority unique amongst political theorists about the implications of advancing certain moral and political values in practice. The foundational argument of this book is that liberalism is compatible with the value pluralism first espoused by Isaiah Berlin. William Galston defends a version of value pluralism - liberal pluralism - and argues, against the contentions of John Gray and others, that it undergirds a kind of liberal politics that gives weight to the ability of individuals and groups to live their lives in accordance with their deepest beliefs about what gives meaning and purpose to life.

Philosophy in Review "Recommended for upper-division undergraduates and above." Choice "Galstons ideas concerning the nature of value pluralism as presented in Liberal Pluralism are both interesting and convincing." Perspectives on Politics "Liberal Pluralism would work well in a course exploring political theory beyond current partisan politics. Galstons classical liberalism, tempered by a rejection of the radical individualism now endemic in much American political discourse, is a fine contribution to the field." - Journal of Church and State, Richard Heyduck, First United Methodist Church Promotional No contemporary actor has William Galstons status as both a political philosopher and political actor.
