Two issues. First, continually embodying a minimum level of pluralism as an individual is really, really hard. It takes true work. Second, it may be that such pluralism works best when a person or collective has “somewhere else to go”. A space or place to retreat or exit to. Yet increasingly, it feels like truly exited spaces and places don’t exist.
That is why pluralism matters. True pluralism is not adding another term to the utility function for “other perspectives.” It is accepting that other traditions may possess ways of knowing and not-knowing that cannot be losslessly translated into your framework, that conflicting goods may remain genuinely conflicting, and that no community earns jurisdiction over everybody else’s moral reasoning merely by being unusually articulate about its own. That sometimes the right way to deal with visceral doubt is to assign the benefit of the doubt to someone other than yourself, who thinks very differently.
