Books:

  • ‘Multiculturalism and the politics of recognition’.
  • Sources of the Self
  • Whats wrong with negative liberty, 1985

His 'Multiculturalism and the politics of recognition' central arguments are:

  • To have positive relation to themselves Individual require other’s recognition– other’s positive attitude/admiration towards one’s cultural identity
  • Minorities should get right to equal status and recognition.
  • For developing self-respect, dignity, and autonomy, one requires a stable cultural structure or framework.
  • State must treat each citizen with equal respect and dignity.
