Neither the urban nor rural problems discussed above can be addressed in isolation: in the absence of significant improvements in agricultural productivity, raising incomes will require the transfer of labor into non-agricultural production. Migration—which takes place predominantly from poorer to wealthier and from rural to urban areas—can be regional or international, as well as domestic, but internal migration is generally the main option for the poorest, or those from the poorest regions, due to the lower costs involved. In the context of the current discussion, migration should be viewed as part of an inevitable process of structural change that contributes to rising productivity and increasing incomes in rural areas, while meeting demands for labor in industrial and urban areas.Precisely because of the concentration of urban 4problems1 highlighted above, however, the process of migration to urban areas, and by extension migrants themselves, are often regarded by policy-makers and the urban population as part of the problem, eliciting negative policy responses. These include residential or mobility restrictions, limits on access to social services and public goods, or differential pricing structures (schooling in China). The costs of migrating can be raised indirectly—through discrimination in employment or housing, by regulations designed to control mobility, residence or work requirements, and through public messages and stereotypes that stigmatize migrants, often blaming them for crime or unrest.Despite such direct or indirect disincentives, internal migration (seasonal or temporary, or longer-term) is huge and increasing rapidly. China has seen approximately 120 million rural residents move for varying lengths of time to cities in search of work, India has an estimated 30 million seasonal migrant laborers, other countries lack data but the documented trends show a widespread increase. Positive incentives or support systems — assistance in finding jobs, appropriate training or improved access to services, or enforcement of employment protections and other rights-remain the exception, however.Growing evidence illustrates the contribution made by migrants to economic growth (building and servicing cities, industries and the export sector), as well as to the development of rural areas and the alleviation of poverty (via remittances, transfer of skills and reducing surplus labor in agriculture). Recent studies from a number of countries-including India, China, Thailand and Vietnam—show that remittances now account for a significant proportion of annual household income, and may even exceed the contribution from agriculture. Remittances substitute for lack of access to credit in rural areas, and are used to finance expenses ranging from food, education and health care, weddings and funerals, to the purchase of productive assets. In Bangladesh and Vietnam evidence suggests that the injection of cash into the economy stimulates the land market, increases local wages and generally improves the local economy. While international migration, through remittances or the return of skilled labor, is important to economies overall, and analyses suggest an impact on poverty reduction in some countries, internal migration is more important in the context of the very poor.

Classical American philosophy is committed to pluralism in its view of reality and human values. Ontologically, experiences occur pluralistically: our transactions with natural environment are individual and qualitatively unique, though all are equally real. These experiences are irreducibly personal, individual, “owned”. We find not experience (in the abstract) but experiences (in the concrete). Morally, values and meanings are genuinely plural: experiences values, no matter how varied and messy, are real insofar as they are experienced. Concern for intellectual neatness aside, experience provides no transcendent position or principle of order for overcoming the varieties of experiences or the experiences of varied values. It is in this spirit that James, perhaps the philosopher of pluralism, writes:whereas absolution thinks that ... substance becomes fully divine only in the form of totality, and is not its real self in any form but the all-form, the pluralistic view which I prefer to adopt is willing to believe that there may ultimately never be an all-form at all, that the substance of reality may never get totally collected, that some of it may remain outside of the largest combination of it ever made, and that a distributive form of reality, the each-form, is logically as acceptable and empirically as probable as the all-form commonly acquiesced in as so obvious the self-evident thing ...For pluralism, all that we are required to admit as the constitution of reality is what we ourselves find empirically realized in every minimum of finite life.What we find, for James, are differing experiences, values, and temperaments; accordingly, differing philosophies appear rational—call forth the “sentiment of rationality” in differing individuals. The search for total, final, literal philosophic agreement, James concludes, must fail; a philosophy may not be ultimate and “strait-laced”, for “individuality outruns all classification”. It is in this same light that Santayana contrasts the philosopher’s supposed desire for truth with his or her defense of some “vested illusion”. In “General Tradition in American Philosophy”, he writes:No system would have ever been framed if people had been simply interested in knowing what is true, whatever it may be. What produces systems is the interest in maintaining against all comers that some favorite or inherited idea of ours is sufficient or right. A system may contain an account of many things which, in detail, are true enough; but ad a system, covering infinite possibilities that neither our experience nor our logic can prejudge, it must be a work of imagination and a piece of human soliloquy. It may be expressive of human experience, it may be poetical; but how should an one who really coveted truth suppose that it was true?Local, regional, national and global differences and conflicts abound. We need a philosophy that centrally recognizes those differences and seeks a harmonious pluralism; intellectual attempts to deny, impose on, or transcend this plurality are no longer innocuous, if they ever were.

'>Comte's philosophical successor, who carried on both his phenomenalist and presentationalist philosophy into the social arena of politics and ethics, was John Stuart Mill. But first we must turn to an even greater influence on Mill's views, one of the leading radical reformers of the nineteenth century, Jeremy Bentham.Born in London, the son of a leading attorney, Bentham was a child prodigy who began studying history and Latin at the age of three. At twelve he entered Queen
