Multiculturalism has been a hotly debated subject since the 70` of the last century. It has been approached mainly from the point of view of political philosophy such as liberalism or Marxism. This led to a debate about “Political correctness” or “ultural wars” which often gave an impression of a sterile partisan issue. In this paper we try to take a different approach of hermeneutical multiculturalism based on the hermeneutic theory of experience offered by Gadamer. The paper consists of 7sections. In the first introductory section, we point out the problem concerning the debate on multiculturalism in the United States since the 70`s. This leads to a proposal to take the issue of multiculturalism from a wider historical context. In the second section, through a historical overview we locate the genesis of multiculturalism in the end of modernity. Even though the world has been multicultural since the primordial times, the multiculturalism as an affirmation of multicultural situation is something new. In the third section, we will discuss the ethics of multiculturalism. It lies in the acknowledgement of the human condition such as temporality, historicity and frailty which was often neglected by “trong”theories of modernity. In the fourth section, we deal with the contemporary threats to multiculturalism such as the “lash of civilizations”after the 9.11 Multiculturalism in Postmodern Age 147 and the standardization of education. In the fifth section, we point out the problems of globalization which lies behind the standardization, and the challenge it poses to multiculturalism. In the sixth section, we show the main feature of hermeneutical multiculturalism through the hermeneutical concepts of horizon and experience. In the finally section, we point out the role that humanities could play for multicultural education.
