Abstract

This article focuses on the discussion of means that can help to replace political narratives of the “enemies” with political narratives of reconciliation. Among the three intellectual obstacles we explore the theoretical grounds of agonism, the abstract ideas of tolerance, democracy and protection of human rights, and the ambiguity of the concept of “national identity.” We conclude that the agonism and consensus pluralism discourses should be synthesized with the concepts of security community, generalized trust, bridging social capital, transnational intellectuals, cultural dialogue, existential communication and cosmopolitan education. For political philosophy it means a return to the legacies of I. Kant, H. Arendt, S. Benhabib, as well as an attempt to incorporate the political theory of S.L. Frank, his ideas of “live knowledge” and “wefeeling.”
