Description
This volume explores the theoretical and philosophical underpinnings of "civilizational dialogue". Relying in part on the work of Hans Georg Gadamer, Dallmayr seeks to clarify the meaning of "civilization", to concretize that meaning through the hermeneutics of Western civilization and to delineate the significance of dialogue carried on in the context of the nascent global city or cosmopolis.

Description
Dialogue Among Civilizations explores the social, cultural, and philosophical underpinnings of 'civilizational dialogue' by asking questions such as: What is the meaning of such dialogue? What are its preconditions? Are there different trajectories for different civilizations? Is there also a dialogue between past and future involving remembrance? Exemplary voices range from Ibn Rushd, Goethe and Hafiz to Soroush, Gadamer, and the Mahatma Gandhi.
