چکیده:
The world in which we live is not formed by a single culture, but by diverse cultures. With the expansion of the multiculturalism movement in recent decades, the issue of recognizing cultural diversity and the impact of various identities on the political decision-making process has become one of the important and prominent topics in contemporary political thought. This writing, after presenting the backgrounds of the emergence of multiculturalism, aims to clarify the various dimensions of the problem statement; thereafter, a typology of the theories presented in this field is briefly addressed, and finally, Charles Taylor's theory on this matter is examined.

VK} (*)Assistant Professor of the Department of Political Science, Tarbiat Modares University Introduction By looking at the world around us, we can easily perceive that one of its most important characteristics is the existence of cultural plurality and diversity in human societies.
For example, our various understandings of concepts such as culture, society, multiculturalism, and politics can lead to various recommendations; this is why, for instance, a political theorist who wants to engage with political prescriptions and recommendations regarding how political decision-making processes are oriented and formed, must inevitably refer to studies, reviews, and research conducted on culture in other disciplines of social sciences, such as sociology and especially anthropology; even if they do not reach definitive answers and comprehensive and exhaustive definitions, it is necessary that they at least use one or a combination of several answers or definitions as the basis for their discussions.
If we want to briefly state the political consequence of each of the aforementioned perspectives, we can say that the view that considers cultural plurality merely a reality and not a value is mostly the origin of theories that favor assimilatory1 policies; whereas the view that considers it a valuable social phenomenon attempts to design policies oriented towards multiculturalism.
