Summary/Abstract: The relationship between civic equality and public recognition belongs to one of the liveliest debates in contemporary political theory. Group concerns and objectives put both liberalism and democracy to the test. Proponents of politics of recognition assert that a mere liberal principle of tolerance is not enough, nor is it sufficient for democratic society. Democratic justice requires affirmative public acceptance of such identity. The paper examines the normative status and theorethical relevance of liberal and democratic response, and offers a very specific republican normative solution.
