- Abstract:
- The chapter addresses to the theoretical foundations of multiculturalism as a potential for the development of a modern multi-ethnic and multi-confessional society from the position of an ontological turn in sociology, in which culture as a universal method of understanding human diversity is placed in a pluralistic approach to ontology, involving a variety of ontological schemes that form various social systems, each of which has its own understanding human differences. Sociality is not so much a condition of human existence as an attribute that is distributed among entities according to certain ontological classifications. Also, culture cannot exhaustively explain the sources of differences between human groups, since it is the product of one of these ontological schemes. The challenge that sociological theory must accept in such a way that the ontological turn in anthropology is not to circumvent and eliminate the differences between ontological perspectives, but to constantly change its conceptual obligations within the framework of a comparative approach to ontology, which eliminates any neutral point of view.
