Reconstructing political pluralism / Avigail I. Eisenberg. - New York : State University of New York Press, �1995. - 1 online resource (ix, 211 pages). - SUNY series in political theory. Contemporary issues . - SUNY series in political theory. Contemporary issues. .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 193-205) and index.
I. Reconstructing Political Pluralism -- II. John Dewey and the Roots of Political Pluralism -- III. Pluralism to Limit State Sovereignty -- IV. Individualists, Group Theorists, and Behavioralists -- V. The Common Good in Postwar Pluralism -- VI. Personal Development and the Requirements of Community.
This reappraisal of the pluralist tradition systematically explores accounts of political pluralism offered by James, Dewey, Figgis, Cole, Laski, Follett, and Dahl and shows how each variant contains a distinct account of the relation between group power, individual interest, and self-development. These historical accounts provide the resources with which Eisenberg reconstructs a democratic theory of political pluralism. At the center of political pluralism, she argues, is a pluralist approach to self-development that can address the key ambiguities of identity politics and provide a more effective means to balance the power relations between individuals and communities than can individualist or communitarian approaches.
