Pluralism is a concept that has applications in various fields and is linked to the plurality and coexistence of very different things. A plural system is one that accepts, recognizes and tolerates the existence of different positions or thoughts.

In a pluralist society everyone has the right to believe that their way of understanding life and social relations is the best, and must have the ability to express themselves, act, defend and persuade others of the correctness of their conception. The rules that regulate a State in such a society, must guarantee this basic principle and must be the result of consensus among citizens, who adhere to them, each for the reasons it deems appropriate.
