Abstract
Written in the context of post 7/7 developments, this paper explores Britain's long-standing condition of ethnic plurality. In doing so it seeks to show that whilst at one level current patterns of polarisation have numerous historical precedents, our current confusion about best to go about living with difference is largely a product of our modern commitment to a unitarian - rather than a pluralistic - vision of the good life. If so, it follows that a rethink of modernistic premises, together with a less hubristic interpretation of pre-modern wisdom is now an urgent priority.
