Summary/Abstract: In dealing with issue primary goods must we take into account national belonging as a particularly important form of cultural belonging? In multicultural countries, with tense inter-ethnic relations possible solutions may be position according to which it is impossible to ignore cultural belonging (more precisely, national belonging) when discussing primary goods. From this standing point, respecting politics of recognition is the main goal to these difficult social/cultural/political conflicts. If we accept politics of recognition as the way to raise claims for equal respect, for being recognized as full persons, given and not despite one’s different identity, culture must be seen as one of primary goods.
