El libro concluye con una tesis llamativa: el no-teísmo viene a se el último paso, la estación de términos hacia la que la historia religiosa -la occidental al menos- parece caminar: desde el politeísmo, el henoteísmo, el monoteísmo pasando por la ilustración europea y el conflicto cristianismo/ateísmo…para desembocar en el no-teísmo, como la resolución del conflicto y la superación de los malentendidos seculares entre el cristianismo y la modernidad. Los dos -cristianismo y ateísmo- tenían razón, la ración parcial de unas posiciones, que ahora, a la altura de estos tiempos, vemos que los dos deben rectificar. Ya la Gaudium et spes (19-22) modificó parcialmente la actitud oficial de la Iglesia católica hacia el ateísmo; Lenaers se atreve a decir que hay que ir todavía bastante más allá para terminar de realizar plenamente la reconciliación con la modernidad.

Multiculturalism is now seen by many of its critics as the source of intercultural and social tensions, fostering communal segregation and social conflicts. While the cultural diversity of contemporary societies has to be acknowledged as an empirical and demographic fact, whether multiculturalism as a policy offers an optimal conduit for intercultural understanding and social harmony has become increasingly a matter of polarised public debate. This book examines the contested philosophical foundations of multiculturalism and its, often controversial, applications in the context of migrant societies. It also explores the current theoretical debates about the extent to which multiculturalism, and related conceptual constructs, can account for the various ethical challenges and policy dilemmas surrounding the management of cultural diversity in our contemporary societies. The authors consider common conceptual and empirical features from a transnational perspective through analysis of the case studies of Australia, Canada, Columbia, Germany, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Uruguay. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of political science, comparative politics, international studies, multiculturalism, migration and political sociology.

Los encuentros y reencuentros de identidad cultural y política, en la unidad de los pueblos, hay permitido encauzar las luchas conjuntas; unas desde la acción social, otras desde el quehacer político y algunas desde la academia. La experiencia en el caminar juntos nos ha señalado nuestros sueños y nuestras obligaciones tareas para alcanzarlos. La autora de este libro ha sentido, desde la vivencia con nuestros pueblos y comunidades, la necesidad de reencausar la interculturalidad desde los paradigmas de Abya – Yala y la urgencia de buscar una verdadera opción de vida, poniendo su esfuerzo en la minga por construir una sociedad intercultural y un Estado plurinacional. Este trabajo es el reflejo de su línea de acción y en sus palabras vamos a encontrar una invitación para reflexión conjunta.
