Abstract
The multicultural utopia, or On the relation of minority rights to human rights One to high numbers of immigrants multiculturalism has become a demographic fact in Europe. Supporting its ideals was acknowledged as a declaration rejecting an homogenous vision of a nation in favour of accepting the equal status of all cultures. Its premises have been regarded as an expression of social sensitivity based upon acceptance of 'otherness'. To start with, approval of 'otherness', which lay at its basis, seemed to constitute a civilisational requirement and, according to its followers, was to be a moral condition for the dignity of any human, whatever their skin colour, ethnic origin or creed. The article bears a conviction that, as an ideal, multiculturalism is emburdened with defects. The fundamental one stems from the fact that it puts basic axiological principles on the line. Multiculturalism generates tensions between minority rights and human rights, which hinders attempts at creating a common, civic platform. WPROWADZENIE Utopia wielokulturowości powstała jako reakcja na wzorzec supremacji jednej kultury, który wpisywał się w dominującą jeszcze parę dekad temu w Europie ideologię narodową. Zważywszy na fakt istnienia różnych wariantów ideologii narodu, generalnie rzecz biorąc była ona oparta na wyobrażeniach − jeśli nie supremacji cywilizacyjnej, której nota bene w wielu przypadkach nie dało się podeprzeć
