Abstract

There is a strong attachment to pluralism in the liberal tradition. Giovani Sartori, one of the great theoreticians of democracy, speaks about a ‘genetic code’ of the free society.Undoubtedly, pluralism is closely connected with one of the features of the ‘open society’, which Karl Popper defined as the science of tolerance.
