N2 - The heritage we need to avoid is a way of thinking about those who disagree with us on matters of fundamental moral and political principle—it is the heritage of unmasking. Unmasking is a mode of exposure that accuses a person, argument, or way of life of being fundamentally defective. Unmaskers do not simply claim to see what others have missed; they claim to see through a person or object. The heritage which we should engage is one that I call conflict pluralism - colliding modes of life and clashing estimates of the good that rational argument is unable to resolve but which a democratic polity must accommodate if it is to remain pluralist
