This paper examines the main elements of Spanish diversity management and specifically its philosophy. It defends the argument that Spain follows a practical philosophy. ‘Practical philosophy’ refers to a way of managing diversity which is not based on established and preconceived ideas, projected by its own social construction such as French republicanism or British multiculturalism, but rather on questions and answers generated by the practice of governance of diversity. The Spanish practical philosophy is neither universalistic nor closed by rigid theoretical principles. At this point, the problem emerges when this context acts as a restraint for proactive policies, since it is based on an identity, a history and a structure that impede innovation and change. The first section of the paper describes the Spanish diversity management framework, by focusing on the identity, the historical and the structural contexts. The second section, analyses three main policy realms – education, labour market and political rights policy realms – applying the framework discussed in the first section. Finally, I present an outline of the basic elements of the Spanish ‘practical philosophy’ of diversity management
