Summary/Abstract: The present study focuses precisely on the next imperative: the semantic recalibration of the concept of multiculturality, currently mistaken for interculturality, not only by politicians and journalists, but even by some philologists having claims. By reducing the problem to linguistic differences, the latter have promoted the confusion at the level of innovation of the approach perspective, maintaining the discourse at the phenomenological level, without touching the tectonics of the social ontology. Therefore, in the present study we start from a verdict given by a first-class European political leader: Angela Merkel, who, at a meeting with the youth of the CDU party acknowledged that multiculturalism can no longer be a solution either for the present, or for the future: "multi-culti is tod"! In the present study, we bring some arguments, we hope persuasive, in order to demonstrate the social diagnosis proposed by this illustrious European personality.
