Summary/Abstract: Modus vivendi is Gray’s political concept which he links to Hobbes’ political theory whose purpose is to temporarily establish the coexistence of intransigent sides i.e ways of life. In other words, modus vivendi is a solution aimed at limiting the scope of political insecurity in plural societies by providing the minimal content of coexistence. Since this is offered as a potential solution for contemporary societies marked by value-pluralist conflicts, the author looks into the probability of the successfulness of the modus vivendi concept of coexistence.
