Iskrivljena logika međukulturalnoga vrednovanja: kritika Parekhove teorije multikulturalizma
The Crooked Logic of Intercultural Evaluation: A Critique of Parekh's Theory of Multiculturalism

Summary/Abstract: his paper deals with Bhikhu Parekh’s theory of intercultural evaluation. Parekh’s approach to multiculturalism is based on an open dialogue between minorities and the majority on cultural practices that should be tolerated. In the first part, author criticizes Parekh’s concept of operative public values, which Parekh uses as a starting point for intercultural debate. In the second part, author deals with the problem of consistency between Parekh’s theoretical arguments and their application to particular cases. In the conclusion, author argues that Parekh’s aspiration to avoid both claims of liberal universalism and cultural relativism is unsuccessful because he fails to provide a convincing theoretical argument on how to resolve disputes on cultural values and practices.
