Rethinking Pluralism, Secularism And tolerance by Neera Chandhoke
No Reviews
Book Overview
This book brings together insightful discussions on three key pillars of democratic and multicultural societies: pluralism, secularism, and tolerance. It critically analyzes how these concepts have been interpreted across different societies and historical periods, and how they continue to shape political and social discourse today.
Rather than treating these ideas as fixed or universally agreed upon, the author(s) delve into their tensions, contradictions, and practical challenges. The book explores questions such as:
- Can true tolerance exist without conflict?
- Is secularism neutral, or does it privilege certain worldviews?
- How can plural societies balance unity with diversity?
Accessible yet intellectually engaging, the text is suitable for students, academics, and general readers interested in political theory, sociology, philosophy, and cultural studies.
