Have we come to the end of history? Are we in a position to engender and support different types of modernity? The contributors of these 32 essays tend toward the latter, but have another question: are the multiple modern societies engendered doomed to crash? The answer seems to be in whether such societies are pluralistic and open or totalistic and closed. In a series of theoretical evaluations and cases, the contributors examine the historical trajectory of modernity, the possibilities and tensions in the relationship between modernity and pluralism and the particular pressures of religion and nationalism on pluralism, surveys of modernity as expressed in India, Israel and Europe, the challenges of collective identities, and, in closing, the possibility of modernity as a program.
