Controversies about abortion, the environment, pornography, AIDS, and similar issues naturally lead to the question of whether there are any values that can be ultimately justified, or whether values are simply conventional. John Kekes argues that the present moral and political uncertainties are due to a deep change in our society from a dogmatic to a pluralistic view of values. Dogmatism is committed to there being only one justifiable system of values. Pluralism recognizes many such systems, and yet it avoids a chaotic relativism according to which all values are in the end arbitrary. Maint

A groundbreaking work, "Deep Religious Pluralism" is based on the conviction that the philosophy articulated by Alfred North Whitehead encourages not only religious diversity but deep religious pluralism. In Part I, David Ray Griffin explains how the Whitehead-based religious pluralism of John Cobb avoids the problems in John Hick’s type of pluralism, which have led many thinkers, such as Mark Heim, to reject pluralism as such. Griffin shows that Cobb has achieved precisely the ideal articulated in Heim’s own Salvations---a position that can see truth in the various traditions without negl
