Incommensurability is the key component of pluralism, undermining familiar monist philosophies such as utilitarianism. But if values are incommensurable, how do we decide between them when they conflict?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge Crowder assesses a range of responses to this problem proposed by Berlin and developed by his successors. Three broad approaches are especially important: universalism, contextualism, and conceptualism. Crowder argues that the conceptual approach is the most fruitful, yielding norms of value diversity, personal autonomy, and inclusive democracy. Historical context must also be taken into account. Together these approaches indicate a liberal politics of redistribution, multiculturalism, and constitutionalism, and a public policy in which basic values are carefully balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Problem of Value Pluralism: Isaiah Berlin and Beyond\u003c\/i\u003e is a uniquely comprehensive survey of the political theory of value pluralism and also an original contribution by a leading voice in the pluralist literature. Scholars and researchers interested in the work of Berlin, liberalism, value pluralism, and related ideas will find this a stimulating and valuable source.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Crowder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138724823\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138724822\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/20\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.70d","brand":"George Crowder","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48113285431551,"sku":"9781138724822","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a99f6ca-8b5f-4487-a65b-d2d4855ed405.jpg?v=1769614091","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-problem-of-value-pluralism-george-crowder-9781138724822","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
