Description
William E. Connolly's Pluralism is a concise and accessible exploration of a powerful theory that has developed over two decades.
In this book, Connolly defends pluralism as the basis of a territorial politics, arguing that it offers a renewed relevance in light of pressing global concerns. He contends that deep, multidimensional pluralism is essential for promoting justice and inclusion without violence, and advocates for its extension into various dimensions of social and personal lives.
Connolly engages with a range of writers and theorists, including Spinoza, James, Bergson, Proust, Deleuze, Agamben, Asad, Hardt, and Negri, to develop his critique of pluralism. He also explores the relationship between pluralism and the experience of time, offering readings of several films that address how time is understood.
