Abstract

Building community is very hard work, and it must be done with sincere, persistent, and concerted effort. My bias is toward a critical cultural pluralism wherein people seek to accept others as human beings without relinquishing the necessity of simultaneously evaluating one's own perspectives as well as others'. In this paper, I move from a clarification of fundamental definitions, to a delineation of the requisite elements, to forging the best possible society -- a community of total participation and humane partnership.
