| Synopsis: | Bhikhu Parekh argues that the Western tradition of political philosophy from Plato onwards has very limited theoretical resources to cope with cultural diversity. He discusses how the Western tradition can be revised and what new conceptual tools are needed. The book addresses theoretical questions raised by contemporary multicultural society, especially the nature and limits of intercultural equality and fairness, national identity, citizenship and cross-cultural political discourse. | |
