- Summary:
- How can we agree to disagree in today's pluralistic society, one in which individuals and groups are becoming increasingly polarized by fierce convictions that are often at odds with the ideas of others? The author proposes an approach called "perspective pluralism" which honors the integrity of various viewpoints while avoiding the implication that all reasonable views are equally acceptable or true.
