Tackled from such a perspective, the question of pluralism is much
more complex. It cannot be envisaged only in terms of already existing
subjects and restricted to their conceptions of the good. What must be
addressed is the very process of constitution of the subjects of
pluralism. This is indeed where the more crucial issues lie today. And
this is where the limitations of the current liberal approach - informed
by essentialism and individualism - can have really damaging political
consequences for democratic politics.
