How is liberal society to interpret the diversity of morals? Is pluralism the appropriate response? How does pluralism differ from the widely condemned ethnocentric relativism--\"liberalism for the Liberals, cannibalism for the cannibals\"? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Confronting liberal thought with its own limitations, Steven Lukes' work is more relevant than ever. While recognizing the dangers of moral imperialism, Lukes argues that a relativist position based on identifying clearly distinct cultural and moral communities is incoherent. Drawing on work in anthropology and philosophy, he examines the nature of social justice, the politics of identity and human rights theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Lukes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784786470\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784786472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Steven Lukes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46233050185983,"sku":"9781784786472","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c2e3d7a3-7758-467b-95b7-352a64880694.jpg?v=1728991919","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/liberals-and-cannibals-steven-lukes-9781784786472","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
