civic equality

The Legacy of Liberalism, Community and Culture This article introduces the thematic section of Two Homelands celebrating the 25 th anniversary of the publication of Will Kymlicka's Liberalism, Community and Culture, one of the seminal books on multicul-turalism and contemporary political theory in general. It contextualizes this symposium [thematic sec-tion] by identifying some of the assumptions that the then-existing liberal conceptions of justice were based upon when addressing issues related to cultural diversity. At the same time, it summarizes the argument for cultural rights advanced by Kymlicka in Liberalism, Community and Culture. It then presents the papers that are part of this symposium [thematic section] and their contribution to the understanding the liberal conception of multiculturalism has had on all subsequent theorizing over cultural diversity and civic equality. IZVLEČEK Dediščina knjige Liberalism, Community, and Culture Prispevek predstavlja tematski sklop revije Dve domovini, ki obeležuje 25-letnico izida knjige Willa Kymlic-ke Liberalism, Community and Culture, ene od utemeljitvenih del multikulturalizma in sodobne politične teorije nasploh. Prispevek simpozij [tematski sklop] kontekstualizira skozi identifikacijo nekaterih pred-postavk, na katerih so temeljila liberalna pojmovanja pravičnosti pri reševanju vprašanj, povezanih s kul-turno raznolikostjo. Hkrati povzema argument Willa Kymlicke za kulturne pravice, predstavljen v knjigi Liberalism, Community and Culture. Sledi predstavitev člankov, ki so del simpozija [tematskega sklopa] ter njegovega prispevka k razumevanju vloge liberalnega pojmovanja multikulturalizma pri vseh poznejših teoretiziranjih kulturne raznolikosti in državljanske enakosti.
