BOOK
Multiculturalism: Examining the politics of recognition
Charles Taylor
$14.39

About this product:
A new edition of the highly acclaimed book Multiculturalism and "The Politics of Recognition," this paperback brings together an even wider range of leading philosophers and social scientists to probe the political controversy surrounding multiculturalism. Charles Taylor's initial inquiry, which considers whether the institutions of liberal democratic government make room--or should make room--for recognizing the worth of distinctive cultural traditions, remains the centerpiece of this discussion. It is now joined by Jürgen Habermas's extensive essay on the issues of recognition and the democratic constitutional state and by K. Anthony Appiah's commentary on the tensions between personal and collective identities, such as those shaped by religion, gender, ethnicity, race, and sexuality, and on the dangerous tendency of multicultural politics to gloss over such tensions. These contributions are joined by those of other well-known thinkers, who further relate the demand for recognition to issues of multicultural education, feminism, and cultural separatism.

About this product:
Herbal therapy. Homeopathy. Acupuncture. Energy healing. Yoga. Therapeutic

touch.

These are just a few of the many new health care alternatives that have recently

joined the more established practices of chiropractic care, massage, weight-loss

programs and vitamin therapy. Today alternative medicine is not only mainstream

but also very big business.

Some surveys show that there are as many patient visits to alternative health

care providers each year as to traditional providers. Two of the best-known

advocates of new perspectives on health, Andrew Weil and Deepak Chopra, each

sell millions of books and enjoy prime-time media attention.

How should you evaluate these new options? Is alternative health care simply a

fad--or is it here to stay? What are the benefits and risks of nontraditional

therapies? Do some health care alternatives have spiritual underpinnings at odds

with Christian faith and practice?

Medical doctor Paul Reisser, former alternative health care practitioner Dale Mabe

and writer Robert Velarde team up to answer these questions in Examining

Alternative Medicine. Sound, frank and even-handed, their book is essential

reading for anyone seeking new roads to health.
