The Dignity Of Difference by Jonathan Sacks
How to Avoid the Clash of Civilizations
A thoughtful defense of religious particularity that argues the world’s faiths each hold partial truths and that true moral progress requires humility, mutual respect and a commitment to coexistence; the book critiques both absolutist exclusivism and rootless relativism, proposes an ethic of covenant and conversation between communities, and shows how embracing difference while upholding universal human dignity can ground pluralistic politics and responses to global challenges such as human rights, identity and social cohesion.
