공존을 위한 선택－보편주의와 다원주의의 길항관계

초록

Pluralism is a challenge. Because pluralism is evaluated as a positive value, but at the same time, it means a problem that we have to solve. Unlike traditional times, under the influence of liberalism since the modern West, many people have come to value their own beliefs and lifestyles and recognize freedom as the highest value. From this, not only have diverse values and beliefs emerged within a single community, but also, in globalization, diverse cultures have been placed in a single global environment. However, this increase in diversity and the experiences we have with it inevitably brings us problems of confrontation and conflict. Therefore, liberalism recognizes diversity and at the same time seeks ways to resolve the confrontation in diversity. In other words, it divides the realm of life into private and public spaces, respects diversity of values in the private realm and deals with differences with tolerance, and justifies universal norms for resolving confrontation and conflict in the public realm. But can the strategy of diversity of values and universality of norms secure a way to save and limit diversity at the same time? The author intends to propose a pluralistic democracy that can solve this problem by explaining the antagonistic relationship between universalism and pluralism.
