The aim with this essay is to examine in which way self-realizing and solidarity can be reconciled in a multicultural society. The essay is a sociological literature study which examines the self- realizing process and puts it in a multicultural perspective. The issues are Which role does self-realizing play for solidarity? How is solidarity created in a multicultural society? Can everyone be self-realized in a multicultural society? Conditions and problems for self-realizing processes are examined and are treated mainly on the basis of Jeffrey C. Alexander and Axel Honneth theories. In the essay is established that self-realizing and society-solidarity is mutually interdependent and that solidarity requires a form of shared value, but it doesn’t need to be based in the traditional values that common history, ethnicity or culture. It can instead be based on a kind of generally recognizing that the value about multiculturalism is good and will be respected. First then can everyone in the society, self-realize on equal conditions.
