| Summary: | The author of "Three Cheers for Pluralist Society" has no reservation in shouting with praise from the rooftops for the ONLY form of human society - Pluralist - and the BEST form of governance - representative democracy. They promote (d)emocratic and (r)epublican values of human rights and civil liberties. There must be maximum freedom for diverse people - you, me, and everyone in the human family - to live as a liberal, moderate, or conservative. The book identifies the threat to this freedom from far left and far right extremists. They want to force one lifestyle - their own - on all of us. TYRANNY VS. DEMOCRACY: Many countries have lost their way as leaders of the free world. The book is a reminder that the best form of governance is not oppressive tyranny - now on the ascendancy in some nations - but representative democracy. It is based on the inherent diversity of people in a Pluralist Society (diversity in demographics - age, culture, ethnicity, gender, LGBTQ, race, religion, etc. - and opinions). The foundation of representative democracy includes Pluralism (laws protecting human rights and civil liberties) and the Culture of Democracy (participation in society and government). Rights and liberties at the heart of modern civilization must be expanded through (d)emocratic and (r)epublican values. They strengthen freedoms against the global terror of tyranny. Each generation must exercise "eternal vigilance" to ensure these freedoms are not foolishly discarded as they have been far too many times in history including today. FOCUS OF BOOK: 30 essays explore an equal number of public policies. They address Abortion, Antisemitism, Campaign Contributions, Constitutional Interpretation, Corruption, Death Penalty, Elections, Extremism, Gay Marriage, Globalization, Guns, Political Discourse, Press, Prostitution, Racism, Sexism, Whistleblowing, etc. TEST AND APPROACH: These essays utilize a "Public Policy Test" for drafting laws to preserve a functioning Pluralist Society. Every country should adopt policies using the Test and its core "Pluralist Approach." It ensures that laws are flexible enough so each person can choose to follow a lifestyle on the left, middle, or right without harassment. -- Google Books |
