N2  - This work is about the relevance of liberalism to cultural membership and to the claims of different cultural groups that their distinctive group identities should be respected and accommodated in the public domain. The basic argument we try to develop is that different cultural identities should be provided with a public space in which they can be maintained securely, since these identities matter to most individual members and are relevant to their well being. However, this individual-centred approach does not lead us to endorse the autonomybased liberal argument that connects the value of cultural membership to its individual autonomy fostering function. Rather, we reject it on the ground that suggesting a liberal understanding of individual autonomy as a justificatory ground for the right to culture dismisses non-liberal cultures, which do not endorse it as a general value. Our overall conclusion is that since different cultures provide different ways of defining the spheres of the good life and individual well being, we should respect their right to maintain themselves as distinct entities
