Description
Challenging the notion that it is impossible to step outside of one's own cultural framework, this work argues that it is possible to cultivate an ability to appreciate truths and values other than our own. It is intended to be of specific interest to courses that address multiculturalism.

Description
Current debates over multiculturalism often pit those who believe that every perspective should be represented against those who hold fast to the notion of a universal "common ground." In this timely and original work, David L. Norton persuasively argues for the power of a "transcendental imagination," that is, an imagination that can go beyond itself to gain another's perspective without necessarily assimilating that perspective. Imagination, Understanding, and the Virtue of Liberality will be an important work for all intellectuals and very useful in courses that address multiculturalism.
