自由主義と歴史の条件 : グローバル化と公正な平和

The pursuit of multicultural coexistence in the era of globalization presumes the primacy of liberal principles. However, the liberalism as a political theory faces contradiction of itself forming a culture with a history that is excluding of other conflicting cultures and historical contingencies. This exclusion poses theoretical and actual problems to the liberal principles of multicultural coexistence because some voices, experiences, and values get silenced in liberal construction of global discourse. This paper highlights the presupposition that liberalism, when enacted, promotes ahistorical and acultural conditions. Multiculturalism, when uncritically approached with liberal principles, may work against in an attainment of global peace by fueling, instead of bridging, ongoing miscommunication between groups with different/diverse historical conditions.
