Kulturni pluralizam i pravednost u recepciji Willa Kymlicke
Cultural Pluralism and Justice in Recepction of Will Kymlicka

Summary/Abstract: Understanding cultural pluralism, as a fact of the modern liberal-democratic societies, it is problematic regarding the very liberal-democratic ideas. Democracy starts with the majority rule, and liberalism is based on the individual, whose basic rights and duties are ensured, disregarding the fact of possible belonging to a minority culture. Can the answer to the demand of cultural diversity be found exclusively in the human rights theory or must we allow the setup of special rights for the for the members of different minority cultures? Do such “special rights” question the ideal of equality that was always considered to be a base of justice? Will Kymlicka, starting from his liberal standpoint, states that a comprehensive theory of justice in multicultural society must include both the general rights ascribed to all individuals, regardless of which groups they belong to, and the specific group-differentiated rights or “special status” for minority rights.
