Summary/Abstract: In an age in which identity claims are more present than ever, the idea of individuality seems – paradoxically – threatened, as if the growing importance of the “we” inescapably entailed the destruction of the “I”. However, should we really have to choose between an “authentic” singularity and a “encompassing” collectivity? The philosophy of multiculturalism may provide an interesting alternative to such an ongoing battle between the individual and its community.
