The Fragility of Tolerant Pluralism

Uses the early sixteenth century as a lens to view our own struggles with multiple visions of a good society

Looks at tolerant pluralism in the light of the twin challenges of resurgent nationalisms and Islamist terrorism

Makes a case not only for social toleration but for a deep pluralism that both values and celebrates difference
