| Summary: | The fact that a society treats equally the different social movements and the opinions which they propound, constitutes the soul of pluralism. Pluralism is characteristic of the Western contemporary world and marks a break from previous societies, notably from those of the Middele Ages. It is certain that pluralism made it possible to overcome the religious, and later the philosophical divisions which have divided Europe since the Renaissance. But it also led to the diffusion of religious indifferentism and to secularisation. The author asks what future is in store for pluralism. For him, it is a question of a method which, supposing certain conditions, makes it possible to establish contact between different social systems; international institutions and the universal religions, Catholicism in particular, have a special responsibility in this matter. |
