In this paper we will study the right to culture from different perspectives, taking into account the coexistence within a society in which cultural pluralism prevails, the way ethnic and racial minorities are developing, their problems and the ways of resolving conflicts. From this point of view, Kantian theory is analysed as a position that maintains universalism, and Walzer’s theory as illustrative of a plural thesis. At the same time, it is considered that, in order to resolve conflicts between cultural minorities, the most appropriate position is that of interculturalism, which requires a minimum common framework to serve as a starting point for resolving conflicts of a cultural nature. Finally, it is argued that the concept of citizenship must be recreated, and that public policies must take culture and the cultural field into consideration.
