Abstract

This article intends to explain on Francis Fukuyama’s idea of the politics of identity Fukuyama suggests that identity politics can threaten the stability of liberal democracy by dividing society based on group identities such as ethnicity, race, religion, or gender. In explaining the phenomenon of identity politics, Fukuyama highlights the demand for recognition based on the concept of thymos, a psychological aspect of human beings seeking acknowledgment. According to him, individuals and groups have a fundamental need for their dignity and identity to be recognized. When these demands are unmet, feelings of dissatisfaction and injustice can arise, leading to social and political conflict. He emphasizes the importance of moral values such as freedom, justice, and respect for individual rights. He contends that liberal democracy must be supported by a strong moral foundation to endure and thrive amidst modern challenges. Francis Fukuyama's thoughts provide valuable insights into how to sustain and strengthen liberal democracy in the contemporary era. By understanding the impact of identity politics and the demand for recognition, as well as reaffirming a commitment to fundamental moral values, societies can maintain stability and justice within the liberal democratic system.
