Joseph H. Carens

Opis

This book makes a significant contribution to the contemporary debate about multiculturalism and democratic theory. It reflects upon the ways in which claims about culture and identity are advanced by immigrants, national minorities, aboriginals, and other groups. It argues that liberal democrats should provide recognition and support for minority cultures and identities, and examines case studies from a number of different societies to show how theorists can learn about justice.

Recenzje

Carens has produced an exemplary piece of political theory. His argument remains nuanced and civil even where it is most critical. More important, perhaps, his argument is driven less by disputes in the philosophical literature than by important political problems ... also critically examines a range of prominent philosophical positions.
