“The inability of human society to recognize pluralism as a fundamental value constitutes a real handicap for its development and a serious danger for our future…. Recognize the fact that human society is essentially pluralist, and that peace and development require that we seek, by every means possible, to invest in and enhance, that pluralism.“
Extract from the speech by His Highness the Aga Khan
at the Prince Claus Fund’s Conference on Culture and Development,
