Valuing Diversity by Peter D Hershock
develops a qualitatively rich conception of diversity as an emerging value and global relational commons, forwarding an ethics of interdependence and responsive virtuosity that opens prospects for a paradigm shift in our pursuits of equity, freedom, and democratic justice.
"…as a theoretical undertaking, the book is entirely successfulThe arguments for change and the sorts of conceptualizations that are employed in these arguments are timely and well-presented, making this work an important contribution to the growing conversation about the need for a perspective that … responsibly deals with emerging issues and predicaments in our global and interdependent world. On the whole, this is a valuable book and an important step towards bridging the gap between academic arguments and contemporary predicaments." — Philosophy East & West
"…Hershock has written an important book. The book impressively achieves its primary aim: to show why diversity poses one of the greatest challenges of our time, and to begin laying the philosophical/conceptual groundwork for a global future where diversity is indeed deeply valued." — Journal of Value Inquiry
