Module PLURALISM: ITS VALUES, CRITICS, AND CHALLENGES

Module code: PH327A
Credits: 5
Semester: 2
Department: PHILOSOPHY
International: Yes
Overview Overview
 

In many Western democracies, pluralism has become the dominating political belief and is seen as intrinsically valuable. This module consists of an examination of issues and values central to pluralism such as: freedom, justice, tolerance, and communication. We will analyse arguments for pluralism and against totalitarianism, and also limitations and challenges, as well as critical counter-arguments of both pluralism and its values. Key texts from important thinkers (e.g. Berlin, Rawls, Arendt, Habermas, and Derrida) will be used as a basis for discussion.
