Since the emergence of the post-industrialized society in the 1970s pluralism in the West has turned its attention to culture. Two trends of pluralism political ideas are particularly worth mentioning: the radical pluralism and the mild pluralism. The former emphasizes establishing plural as a consequence of eradicating unitariness, while the latter stresses social integration on the basis of plural. The author holds that it is not right to consider "unitariness" and "plural" as conflicting concepts. The article concludes that a balanced relationship of "unitariness" and "plural" realized on the basis of a dialectic relationship of the society and the state is recommended.
