The problem of \u201cotherness\u201d as the premise of the discourse of multiculturalism The main point of the article is to search for philosophical premises for discourse of multiculturalism of the present world. In the first part the author asks the very fundamental question whether it is even possible to shape radical \u201cotherness\u201d as a new separate subject and he puts the answer into the context of evolution of the European rationality. He criticizes the totalitarizing concept of the \u201cforce of insight\u201d and he suggests the reflection on \u201chome\u201d as a horizon of \u201cpre-understanding\u201d instead. In the second part of the article the author shows the differences between the notions such as \u201ctoleration\u201d and \u201crespect\u201d and he outlines the concept of \u201crespect\u201d in the meaning of \u201cdeconstruction of sense\u201d.
