“One now recognizes more clearly that the liberal paradigm also has shadow sides. It has unilaterally focused on differences and thus neglected what is or should be the same for everyone. This applies especially to economic liberalism: Is it really sensible, for example, to set competition between schools, or should it not rather be about maintaining universally valid quality standards? This also applies to diversity liberalism: Is it not necessary to establish minimum cultural rules for all in the multitude of different cultural communities?”
