In this paper we propose reconsidering from a hermeneutical approach the theme about identity, which has been reactivated in the Quebecois debate about the "reasonable accommodation". For that aim, we deliberately adopt a hermeneutical view of Charles Taylor's politics. We start from his analyze about modernity where emerge the question about identity and complementarily the recognition as a "struggle". We explore the relationship between authenticity and recognition. Then we go in depth in the link between individual and collective identity. How does Hermeneutics help to a better understanding about individual and collective identities? From the hermeneutic approach we focus on an account of complex and dynamic identities and the possibility of "thinking and living deep diversity". Finally, we answer to some of the criticism from procedural liberalism to Charles Taylor's politics. Adapted from the source document.
