ePub Hindu Pluralism: Religion and the Public Sphere in Early Modern South India (South Asia Across the Disciplines) by Elaine M. Fisher in History

Description

In this book; philosopher David Boonin attempts to answer the moral questions raised by five important and widely contested racial practices: slave reparations; affirmative action; hate speech restrictions; hate crime laws; and racial profiling. Arguing from premises that virtually everyone on both sides of the debates over these issues already accepts; Boonin arrives at an unusual and unorthodox set of conclusions; one that is neither liberal nor conservative; color conscious nor color blind. Defended with the rigor that has characterized his previous work but written in a more widely accessible style; this provocative and important new book is sure to spark controversy and should be of interest to philosophers; legal theorists; and anyone interested in trying to resolve the debate over these important and divisive issues.
