Abstract

The author presents the thesis about the difference between the cultural/historical and the political identity by distinguishing the cultural/ historical majorities and minorities from the political winners and losers. He points to the democratic paradox according to which states are not ruled by the losers’ political majorities but by the winners’ political minorities. According to the author, in multi-ethnic societies it is necessary to equally develop the popular and the political culture — that is the cultural and political tolerance.
