Multiculturalism by Charles Taylor
Brings together a range of leading philosophers and social scientists to probe the political controversy surrounding multiculturalism. This work features K Anthony Appiah's commentary on the tensions between personal and collective identities, such as those shaped by religion, gender, ethnicity, race, and sexuality.
"Original and important.. The essays by Taylor and the other contributors raise the debate to a new level, providing it with the high moral seriousness it deserves."--Lawrence Blum, Boston Review "Multiculturalism ... is packed with depth, intelligence, and (to revive an old-fashioned word) wisdom... It is highly relevant to pressing debates about nationalism and its identity."--Michael Saward, The Times Higher Education Supplement "[Taylor's] comments about multiculturalism in particular demonstrate his knack for finding sensible middle ground between unreasonable extremes... His writing here is clear, direct, and refreshingly free of philosophical jargon. He is also delightfully nonpartisan."--David McCabe, Commonweal "Multiculturalism ... is packed with depth, intelligence, and (to revive an old-fashioned word) wisdom."--Michael Saward, The Times Higher Education Supplement "[Taylor's] comments about multiculturalism ... demonstrate his knack for finding sensible middle ground between unreasonable extremes... His writing here is clear, direct, and refreshingly free of philosophical jargon. He is also delightfully nonpartisan."--David McCabe, Commonweal "... engaging, thought-provoking, suggestive, full of insights on questions of intellectual history, philosophical and moral psychology, and current issues in political philosophy and practice."--Ethics "Because it impinges upon so much--from campus speech to bilingual education to the causes and effects of political correctness--the current discussion on multiculturalism is essential to understanding Western academic culture as it exists today (and as it will exist in the future). This book is a valuable guide to the complexities involved."--Washington Times
