Migration is a phenomenon that has been with humans since the
earliest times. But it has become a topic of politico-legal
philosophy only recently, and thanks to liberalism, for, as far as
we in the contemporary world are concerned, it is liberalism that
has continuously advocated that one is entitled to live the way of
life that one thinks is fit for one's own life. Multiculturalism
arises from the claim that immigrants (ethnic minorities) have
their own ways of life that should be respected. It should be based
on liberalism. The thesis is an attempt to delineate what the
author has in mind about liberal multiculturalism. We shall find
that liberalism has a built-in tendency to tolerate or respect
'alien' cultures or cultural practices. Multiculturalism, then,
cannot allow any way of life to be at odds with its core: free and
equal individuals. In a liberal multicultural society all people
should support this principle. Other than that, anyone is free to
engage in any activity or way of life. Multiculturalism, in one
word, is liberalism in self-reflection.
