Abstract
The paper addresses the problem of the axiological implications of beliefs in the context of pluralistic societies. For this purpose; the question of beliefs is placed within a dynamic concept of individual or communitarian identity; so-called narrative identity. This concept is based on the identity of a character correlated his action represented by a plot. On the social level; the coexistence of the strong identifications rooted in beliefs requires the acceptance of an appropriate model. This study is an attempt to answer the question whether a purely formal character of the universalization rule and the argumentative procedures is sufficient in this regard. In this perspective there is a risk of an annihilation of the axiological background which is decisive as far as the human involvement in a responsible construction of the social life is concerned. To protect the investigations from an excessive abstraction; they are transferred in the field of a phenomenological research on the motivation of human will. This inquiry is completed by a confrontation with the formal principle of universalization elaborated by Kant. As a result; the two opposite perspectives seem to be complementary. The two final examples of a wise deliberation and some possible coexistence of strong beliefs in the area of historical policy provide the reader with a larger model of such a coexistence.
