Abstract
This article examines the accommodation of diversity on the premises of value pluralism. It focuses on a claim according to which value pluralism entails the accommodation of maximal diversity. The article argues that a principle of maximal diversity is problematic, and that it should be abandoned as the central guideline for value pluralist diversity accommodation. Nevertheless, the article suggests that the characteristics of value pluralism point towards a capacious political society the primary aim of which is to secure the co-existence of consensual ways of life.
