摘要
This article explores the increasing diversification with regard to the plurality of identities and cultures within the contemporary societies as well as the tendency to ethnify and/or culturalize social conflicts. In this context, searching for a conception of common life which permits the configuration of a collective identity able to integrate the mentioned differences, some arguments will be developed in favour of the civic alternative represented by republicanism.

En este contexto, y buscando una concepci車n de la vida en com迆n que posibilite la configuraci車n de una identidad colectiva integradora de las diferencias, se argumenta a favor de la alternativa c赤vica representada por el republicanismo.
