Intercultural Dialogue: In Search of Harmony in Diversity offers a philosophical analysis of the issues surrounding cultural diversity and dialogical relationships among cultures as an alternative to “culture wars” and hegemonic globalization. It examines the ideas of dialogue and harmony as expressed in Daoism, Confucianism, Indian, and Ancient Greek philosophical traditions, as well as in contemporary European and Latin-American philosophies. It asserts that intercultural dialogue should have inter-philosophical global dialogue as its epistemological and ontological foundation. Intercultural philosophy elaborates on the conceptualization of philosophy as culturally embedded. The book offers a critical analysis of world problems. Their solutions require a dialogically oriented transformation of society, aiming for a cosmopolitan order of law and peace.

  • “Dialogue demands the listener’s attention. This volume provides material that forces us to become aware of both the gaps in our awareness of other cultures, as well as the limits of dialogues between and among different cultures. This is an important addition to our conversations in the humanities about the meanings attributed to culture and the perils of living these meanings in the world.”
    - Sander L. Gilman Distinguished Professor of the Liberal Arts and Sciences; Professor of Psychiatry, Emory University, USA
  • “This book sheds new light on themes of intercultural relationships by bringing philosophers outside the traditional, Eurocentric theoretical canon into a creative dialogue about the future of humanity. It highlights Mikhail Bakhtin’s view on the universal character of dialogue as permeating all human relationships – from the intersubjective level to the most general level of dialogue among cultures. Dialogism has the heuristic potential for innovation in the humanities and for regaining their role in the self-awareness and self-transformation of human beings.”
    - Mikhail Epstein Director of the Centre for Humanities Innovation; Professor of Russian and Cultural Theory, Durham University, UK
  • “Globalization often means homogenization. This book constitutes a fundamental contribution to the preservation of plurality. Featuring essays by noted international scholars, it creates the conditions for an intercultural dialogue which seeks harmony while sustaining diversity. [It is] recommended to all who wish to participate in the emerging world conversation.”
    - David M. Rasmussen Editor-In-Chief, Philosophy and Social Criticism
