There is a memorable line by ancient Greek poet Archilochus: 'The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.' Drawing on this metaphor made popular by Isaiah Berlin, this book sets out to 'think like a fox' about transitional justice in an intellectual environment largely dominated by hedgehogs. Critical of the unitary 'hedgehog-like' vision underlying mainstream discourse, this book proposes a pluralist reading of the field. It asks: What would it mean for transitional justice to constructively deal with conflicts of values and interests in societies grappling with a violent past? And what would it imply to make meaningful room for diversity, to see 'the many' rather than just 'the one'?

Haldemann, Frank: - Frank Haldemann is an affiliated researcher at the Interdisciplinary Institute of Ethics and Human Rights of the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. He has taught transitional justice for over ten years, and co-directed the Geneva Academy Master in Transitional Justice, Human Rights and the Rule of Law. His research on transitional justice has led him to New York, The Hague and South Africa. He is the co-editor (with Thomas Unger) of The United Nations Principles to Combat Impunity: A Commentary (2018) and has published in journals such as Ratio Juris, Cornell International Law Journal, WestEnd: Neue Zeitschrift für Sozialforschung and Munera: rivista europea di cultura.
