Review Quotes:
No political philosopher has done more than Fred Dallmayr to bring different traditions and thinkers into an original and profitable conversation. In Integral Pluralism, Dallmayr shows us how the American pragmatist tradition, the European hermeneutic and phenomenological traditions, the considerations of religion both monotheistic and not, as well as the South Asian and East Asian traditions can cast light on each other, a light that in turn he reflects on our times. One is in Dallmayr's debt, for no one else could have done it.
