Discourse on Political Pluralism in Early Eighteenth-century England by Pasi Ihalainen

A Conceptual Study with Special Reference to Terminology of Religious Origin

An analysis of the discourse on political pluralism in 18th-century England. It shows that political pluralism was conceptualized through terminology derived from the traditionally dominant religious discourse, which contributed to continuity in critical attitudes towards political parties. Pasi Ihalainen's book demonstrates that political pluralism was generally conceptualised through terminology derived from the traditionally dominant religious discourse, which contributed to continuity in critical attitudes towards political parties. Yet significant shifts also occurred in the application of religious terminology of pluralism. These shifts include the gradual secularisation of the vocabularies of the political and of party. There also occurred a decline in the frequency of religious terms, as politics and religion became understood as separate, though analogous, spheres. Terminologies of religious and political pluralism, became more distinct, which facilitated the expression of more positive attitudes towards political pluralism.
