As the most important chapter in the book, it shows that the political turn should be completed with a commitment to diversity rather than to autonomy. Pro-toleration liberalism, in fact, combines the politicization of liberalism with a general pro-diversity orientation. Chandran Kukathas’s ‘liberal archipelago’ model is assumed as an instance of PT liberalism. It is deeply analysed and criticized. It becomes acceptable only after some substantial amendments. In particular, after an enquiry into the kind of obligations binding individuals to groups and to the mainstream society (and to the state), the chapter claims that understanding such obligations as associative obligations can render PT liberalism more tenable. This view is increasingly defensible when it is completed with a much more extended account of the mainstream society and of the role of the state.

This is an introductory chapter that defines and clarifies some notions that will be fundamental to the rest of the book. First, liberalism is seen as a theory looking for an answer to the question ‘how to live together?’ in condition of deep diversity. Second, diversity is considered as a fact marking contemporary society, a fact to which liberalism has to find an answer. This chapter distinguishes between comprehensive and political liberalism, and between pro-autonomy and pro-toleration liberalism. Combining the two distinctions, one obtains four kinds of liberal theories: comprehensive pro-autonomy (hereafter CA), comprehensive pro-toleration (hereafter CT), political pro-autonomy (hereafter PA), and political pro-toleration (hereafter PT). These four theories, the author contends, offer a wide overview of the contemporary academic debate. This chapter also contains a schema of this book.

This chapter, after a short synopsis of the book, argues that the version of liberalism defended in this work is not culturally particularistic: In fact, rather than presenting liberalism as a substantive world view, this book presents liberalism as a theory of the limits of the state power. The last section offers some remarks on distributive justice, a topic largely unaddressed in this book but still a relevant one.
