- Abstract (Swedish)
- The purpose of this essay is to compare point of views from four different liberal
scholars concerning multiculturalism and group recognition. As well as to
investigate if there are any conflicts between liberal values like liberty, equality
and self-determination. The material is based on Will Kymlicka, Susan Moller
Okin, Joseph Raz and Chandran Kukathas ideas about liberalism, multiculturalism

This thesis answers two questions; firstly if minority cultures should get
recognition from a liberal state, and given that the answer of the first question is
yes, by which ways and means. This essay will also show the dilemmas between
those liberal scholars and why it can be difficult to agree when they all take points
of departure from the same ideologi.
My analysis is divided into three different categories: conflict, group
recognition and cultural importance. Conclusion of the essay is that the answer
depends on how the scholars understand and define these different values. (Less)
