Interfaith dialogue as a component of cultural and civilizational relations
Abstract
The present high status of dialogue as a widely practiced method of considering and resolving the problematic, controversial or conflicting issues that humanity has to face is a kind of a result of the millennial selection of reliable and effective means of understanding, reconciliation, organization of civilized coexistence, multifaceted ideology, the world of human communities, their individual groups or individuals. Almost the main features of ancient philosophical dialogue - to be the antithesis of dogmatism, to question the habitually established, preserved as an axiom, to force the opponent to listen to a different opinion, to understand the opposite position - surprisingly preserved to our day, to acquire constructs, to acquire constructs, in particular between churches, they end without the expected consensus.
