| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This paper discusses the relationship between patriotism, a concept traditionally
equated to a notion of overwhelming cohesion, and multiculturalism, often taken as
completely centered around a notion of irreducible cultural diversity. The paper reconsiders
this dichotomy, providing a framework for understanding multiculturalism as referring to a
multifaceted empirical phenomenon and normative theory and for understanding patriotism
as something which is capable of overcoming forms of ethno?cultural nationalism. Such an
understanding of patriotism, implemented both at the national and at the international
level, could promote a sentiment of unity and, at the same time, address the discrimination
from which multicultural claims originate. |
