Cultural Pluralism and Moral Identity

Wong, D
2009
I develop a new "conversational" conception of culture that accommodates the characteristics of fluidity and internal diversity of values that have been highlighted by cosmopolitan and postmodern critics of the the essentialist conception of culture. I then draw out implications for the kinds of moral identities that can arise in fluid and internally diverse cultures. I argue that internal consistency and stability of moral identities are not necessarily healthy characteristics of moral identity given a realistic conception of culture.
