Young, Michael

A pluralistic society would also be a tolerant society, in which individual differences were actively encouraged as well as passively tolerated, in which full meaning was at last given to the dignity of man. Every human being would then have equal opportunity, not to rise up in the world in the light of any mathematical measure pervading the whole society but to develop his or her own special capacities for leading a full life which is also a noble life led for the benefit of others as well as the self.
