摘要

My aim is to vindicate Husserl’s notion of renewal against reproaches that renewal effaces cultural plurality. My aim pertains to plurality between, not within, cultures. I argue that we can observe an axiological variability in the essential structure of a renewing community. My approach is to clarify that axiological convergences ground the normative identity of concrete communities and then to survey whether a plurality of communal norms can support a renewing community. Renewing communities must rationally self-evaluate with the aim of pursuing an unreachable ethical ideal, and I qualify renewal’s inherent plurality with two reasons. First, it is possible to genuinely justify a limited plurality of value-stances without compromising renewal’s abstract ideal. Second, pursuing this ideal obliges communities to alter their communal norms when they stand against evidence. Through this inherent possibility for normative redesign, renewing communities must occupy a space of axiological variability.
