Tim Lacy reflects on Hollinger's Postethnic America
http://s-usih.org/2015/07/the-varieties-of-cosmopolitanism.html
Invoking the spirit of Raymond Williams, Brennan reminds us that the terms ‘intellectual’ and ‘cosmopolitan’ were nearly equivalent in this period of thoughtful anti-provincialism and reflection on America’s multitudes.[1] Those intellectuals included Horace Kallen, John Dewey, Jane Addams, Louis Brandeis, and Randolph Bourne.
That group held forth an intellectual diversity in relation to cosmopolitanism. Kallen’s “cultural pluralism” placed him, according to Hollinger, at the “protoseparatist extreme of cultural pluralism” even while “his celebration of group differences appealed to [those]…opposed to forced assimilation.” Kallen roughly fit into Hollinger’s cosmopolitan schema, which included pluralists at one end of a continuum (my insertion) that excluded extreme multiculturalism. At the other end was an individualist, voluntary affiliation-oriented cosmopolitanism “suspicious…[of] conformist pressures within communities celebrated by pluralists.” This latter group, while still willing to “engage human diversity,” also had an affinity for universalist arguments about common grounds, as well as shared interests and ideals. Hollinger’s distinctions between universalists, pluralists, and cosmopolitans will loom larger as the twentieth century moves along.
Exactly, John. I'm sure you couldn't have put it better yourself.
Cheers to you too, Tim. You continue to astonish.
