This powerful new study examines pluralism in three settings: early states, modern industrial societies, and the contemporary `postmodern' world, each of which vary economically, politically, and in the space they allow difference. Identifying several kinds of pluralism, the author points to a range of choices facing us as we move into the twenty-first century, trying to reconcile the competing demands of universalism and difference.
