This text explores the relationship between the concepts of civilization and culture, which are frequently used in contemporary discourse without adequate conceptual definition. The author highlights that while civilizations are often discussed in various contexts, there is a distinct lack of precise demarcation between them and the concept of cultures. A specific focus is placed on the phenomenon of multiculturalism, a term that has become commonplace in modern society, whereas the analogous concept of "multicivilizationalism" remains conspicuously absent from public and academic language. The paper poses a provocative question regarding the reasons behind this terminological asymmetry and suggests the need for a deeper philosophical and sociological investigation into these categories. The aim of this reflection is to stimulate a broader discussion on how we understand the global organization of humanity and what semantic differences we perceive between culture and civilization. This text serves as a critical introduction to the issues of identity and social structures in a globalized world, emphasizing the necessity of more precise definitions of key terms to better comprehend current social processes.
