Abstract
The author deals with the issue of the just conflict resolution. The first part of the article is devoted to the analysis of the importance of resolving social and political conflicts in every community. It also tackles the two views – monistic and pluralistic – of the very nature of conflict. The second part looks into the three levels of conflict – the conflict concerning the way of life and the concept of the good, the conflict regarding the manner in which we want to accomplish universally accepted goals and, finally, the conflict surrounding the fundamental principals of justice. In the last part the author analyses the methods we can adopt in conflict resolution and discusses which of those approaches is most righteous from the point of view of pluralism.
