Pluralism

Pluralism refers to tolerance for different types of ideas, persons, or groups. For example, religious pluralism, as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, is a policy allowing different religious groups to coexist in the United States.

Pluralism is the opposite of xenophobia (hatred of strangers), majoritarianism and nativism (giving preference to the native born and attacking immigrants who bring different values of ways of life).

In philosophy[edit]

Pluralism is the belief that reality consists of many different substances (including abstract objects and universals) in addition to the fundamentally mindless arrangements or interactions of matter-energy in space-time.^[2]
