Abstract
This essay argues that dogmatic monism and ideological exclusivity pose
profound dangers to pluralistic societies. Drawing on Berlin, Mill, and Rawls,
it defends value pluralism, epistemic humility, and principled recognition of
difference as essential foundations for democratic resilience and meaningful
dialogue. It further contends that intellectual confinement undermines sound
judgement and that democratic stability depends upon the sustained cultivation
of openness, plurality, and institutional tolerance.
Keywords: value pluralism; epistemic humility; reasonable pluralism;
monism; democratic resilience; intellectual humility
