Main Article Content

Abstract

The aim of the article is to present an important doubt concerning the multiculturalism of Chandran Kukathas. First, his strong critique of group rights and his vision of the Liberal Archipelago, which can be considered as a certain ideal of a state marked by cultural pluralism, is reconstructed and presented. Then it is argued, that contemporary states could not make hypothetical attempts to realize, to “get closer” to this ideal without a complex system of group rights. This can be considered as a paradox, or even an inconsistency in the doctrine of Chandran Kukathas, who explicitly repudiates group rights.
