Abstract
This article concerns the theoretical debate on some important politicaland questions in our Western societies. The theme is coexistence with the other, also caused by the massive migration in recent years. The relationship with each other has been developed in the Western tradition in a peculiar way over the centuries. It is essential in the liberal conceptionof de mocracy, starting from a deeply individualistic idea of tolerance andthe theory of h uman rights. This conception is seen with suspicion in many extra-western countries. However, today, even in "our" societies, the presence of communities of immigrants who are not educated in the culture of individualism is creating integration problems and even regressive pressures in the indigenous population.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
