Nearly a century before the advent of "multiculturalism," Jane Addams put forward her conception of the moral significance of diversity. Each member of a democracy, Addams believed, is under a moral obligation to seek out diverse experiences, making a daily effort to confront others' perspectives. Morality must be seen as a social rather than an individual endeavour, and democracy as a way of life rather than merely a basis for laws. Failing this, both democracy and ethics remain sterile, empty concepts.In this, Addams' earliest book on ethics - presented here with a substantial introduction by Charlene Haddock Seigfried - she reflects on the factors that hinder the ability of all members of society to determine their own well-being.
