Summary/Abstract: Multiculturalism, viewed as the attempt of contemporary societies to increase their inclusiveness, has as its foundation a pluralist epistemological approach. The paper intends to show how pluralistic epistemology has found a first and early accommodation in critical Eurocentrism and, more generally, the relationship between the European civilization and the cultural systems so-called "primitive", prepared by the Russian linguist Nikolay Trubetskoi in the early XX century.
