THE CROOKED LOGIC OF INTERCULTURAL EVALUATION: A CRITIQUE OF PAREKH’S THEORY OF MULTICULTURALISM

Enes Kulenović ; Fakultet političkih znanosti Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Sažetak

This paper deals with Bhikhu Parekh’s theory of intercultural
evaluation. Parekh’s approach to multiculturalism is based on an
open dialogue between minorities and the majority on cultural practices that should be tolerated. In the first part, author criticizes
Parekh’s concept of operative public values, which Parekh uses as a
starting point for intercultural debate. In the second part, author deals
with the problem of consistency between Parekh’s theoretical arguments and their application to particular cases. In the conclusion, author argues that Parekh’s aspiration to avoid both claims of liberal
universalism and cultural relativism is unsuccessful because he fails
to provide a convincing theoretical argument on how to resolve disputes on cultural values and practices.
