Authors

Pedro Ortega Ruiz

Abstract

In this paper the author deals with the different approaches used to date in intercultural education. The conceptual differences between multiculturalism and interculturalism are analysed along with their incidence on educational practices. The culturalist" approach in intercultural education which has been widespread in recent decades is criticized, and a new paradigm, the pedagogy of alterity, is offered based on ethical suppositions which are distinct from Kantian ethics. The experience of the other", ethnically or culturallydistinct, is an indispensable element of intercultural education. Intercultural education is solved by the recognition and reception of the specific other in all his reality.
