Abstract

The author examines first the position of Jürgen Habermas, to show how attractive it is to deny categorically the political dilemmas, then calls for the acceptance of these conflicts, and argues that his position violates the basic deontic logic. Follows after that to discuss three situations in which conflict fundamental norms, in which is recognized the reality of normative conflict between the democratic will to promote national culture and the rights of the subgroups. Finally exposes counterarguments that he declares admissible, but maintaining that the best way to understand these tensions is to accept that you are facing a political dilemma.
