Origins of American Pluralism.
Two conflicting conceptions underlie the use of pluralism in the United States. One is inherently political and economic, often expressed in theform of interest-group politics; the other, inherently cultural and social, is often expressed as a commitment to community life. This article traces the origins of both conceptions in American history. It relates the various formulations of pluralisme ideology to the decline of the de facto pluralism that characterized nineteenth-century American society. The article also contrasts the minority group search for self-identification with the recognition of pluralism as an integral part of American ideology by thinkers situated at the center of society.
