Transcendence and immanence into or onto creative pluralism in South Africa

Abstract

s diversity never determines a subjoin to conflation (pluralism). 'Pluralism' and 'diversity' are frequently pre-owned as if they were identical. To illuminate this point, I can speak of diversity as splendid and colourful, and for others, it could mean a threat, a danger, and because of different hermeneutical implications it could have on sapiens consciousness, diversity cannot qualify as pluralism.Diversity is the promise that originates in a prevalent hamlet 2 that is pluralism, as it can be or maybe not. It all depends on the reader's epistemological points of view. In this article, a 1.Please take note that in the context of this article, the terms pluralism and dissimilarities are used interchangeable. The reason for this is that it is better for me to use these terms in different albeit same meaning of the terms from time to time in this article.2.An expressive word alike 'hamlet(s)', in this context, is a substitution for the term 'society'. The reason for this substitution has to do with the term 'society', that is to my mind a too laden (heavy) term in the relevant present-day contemporary communities, especially in South Africa, and therefore, the term 'hamlet' is used in the context of this article. Contribution:The aim of this article is to present a coherent metatheory by specifying the boundary conditions in which each root metaphor (constructive pluralism) best applies. These above-mentioned versions of pluralism as tools are a reminiscence and a jubilee of the efforts made by sapiens through diversity onto or into pluralism to enable the religious hamlet to think and share. This pluralistic approach of orientation, I hope, will empower sapiens in their respective hamlets to define, articulate and designate to enhance their own epistemological and ontological vantage points wherefrom their individual, coherent and contextual ways of thinking, acting and projecting their lives in a positive modus by emphasising the reconstructions of their performance in their environment.

Transcendent pluralism: A middle‐range theory of nonviolent social transformation through human and ecological dignity: Analysis and evaluation

“…In his writings, he does not explicitly cite the concepts of transcendent pluralism with the exception of human dignity but does allude to terms that are by definition concepts associated with transcendent pluralism. For example, he explains that South Africans have grown intolerant of one another but through dignity they can value themselves and one another (Van Rooyen, 2021), this is an example of knowing personhood. He goes on to state that the framework of transcendent pluralism can help advance legal and cultural pluralism in South Africa (Van Rooyen, 2021).…”

The application of the theory in this context expands its purpose beyond the healthcare setting while fulfilling the theorist's vision of interdisciplinary function and systemic approach to human devaluation.…”

“…The most recent work drawing on this theory was published by researchers in South Africa who aimed to produce a metatheory of pluralism using the theory of transcendent pluralism as a framework. Van Rooyen (2021) suggests that the middle‐range theory of transcendent pluralism has concepts that can be used to advance human dignity outside of healthcare. In his writings, he does not explicitly cite the concepts of transcendent pluralism with the exception of human dignity but does allude to terms that are by definition concepts associated with transcendent pluralism.…”
