Hybrid Pluralism

Intuitively, a pluralist solution is one in which a single question receives multiple answers. Such pluralist solutions have been proposed in many widely disparate contexts. This paper restates the concept of pluralism with greater precision; distinguishes it from, and establishes its independence of, some other notions with which it is frequently confused; and briefly lays out some of the benefits that this more nuanced approach to pluralism may yield for the debates in which it may be invoked.
