DESCRIPTION:Wan Ning Seah is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Politi
 cal Science at Duke University\, specializing in political theory. Her re
 search interests are in religious pluralism and toleration\, democratic t
 heory\, ancient and early modern political thought\, as well as French po
 litical thought. Her dissertation examines the relationship between relig
 ious pluralism and regime type\, with a focus on how and under what condi
 tions some regimes that do not fit neatly into the category of liberal de
 mocracy have managed to sustain religious pluralism. Drawing from the his
 tory of political thought and a comparative analysis of the Roman Empire 
 and Singapore\, she explores the various forms that religious pluralism c
 an take and the normative implications of this account of pluralism for o
 ur understanding of toleration. Her other work examines the concept of ci
 vil religion in Rousseau's Social Contract. Prior to graduate school\, Wa
 n Ning worked as a Foreign Service Officer at the Ministry of Foreign Aff
 airs of Singapore. She received her B.A. from Middlebury College.  \n\nTo
 leration is often viewed as a liberal-democratic value\, even though plur
 alism is salient in different kinds of societies worldwide\, including re
 gimes that are not fully liberal or democratic. In this talk\, Seah shows
  that Montesquieu offers theoretical resources for reflecting on the prac
 tice of pluralism beyond liberal societies. Drawing on The Spirit of the 
 Laws and Persian Letters\, Seah argues that Montesquieu's views on tolera
 tion should be read in the broader context of his pluralism and particula
 rism. This allows us to conceive religious pluralism as a practice that t
 akes different forms in different regimes.\n\nThis event will be hybrid. 
 Registration is required to join via Zoom. Lunch will be provided from Bu
 l Box.
