Abstract

This paper deals with the analysis of pluralism in the multicultural concepts of G. Sartori and B. Fay. The aim of paper is to explain and point out the normative specificity of this concept. The starting point consists in claim that pluralism is inevitable presupposition of multiculturalism. In the first part Sartori’s concept of pluralism and multiculturalism is explained with conclusion, that if we want to understand the relationship between pluralism and multiculturalism we must first redefine these terms. In the second part is analysed Fay’s theory of interactionism as an alternative to pluralism and we compare the multicultural concepts of both authors. In conclusion the problems of Sartori’s and Fay’s theory of pluralism and multiculturalism are shown and we also point to the future of multiculturalism.
