The paper deals with Schelling's dialogue Clara. Clara is among less frequently read and interpreted works of world philosophical literature. The aim of the paper is to reveal the inadequate thematization of love in western thought by putting to the fore the questions of femininity, the relationship between the living and the dead, and the connections we preserve with the departed through the "ontology of mourning." Clara proves to be one of the key philosophical/literary texts in terms of establishment and thematization of the "new ontology of love."

The paper presents the question of paradigmatic change of perception of the ultimate reality, God/Goddess as a call for the creation of new collective awareness and the revival of female principle in the religious and secular sphere. This can also be understood as the liberating process which leads to thorough transformation and new forms of human relationship to oneself, to other people and the world. In this context, the hermeneutic key to equivalent acceptance of femininity in the field of the religious and the spiritual, is the ethical maxim which should become a sine qua non condition of the moral code in accepting the other, the different, and is the key to a humane sensibilisation of an individual in order to achieve a better coexistence in a cultural and religious diversity. Understanding religion as a precondition to a moral dialogue is therefore faced with the category of gender which is a sine qua non source of this moral dialogue.

The paper aims to investigate the relationship between divine command theory of morality, ethical cosmopolitanism framework and correlated challenges pertaining to the questions of a plausible universalism and dialogue in the globalized world. The methods used include an analysis of commitments of divine command ethics and claims about objectivity and authority of morality. Next, a compatibility between divine command ethics and cosmopolitan framework is investigated. The main claim is that divine command ethics is not committed to and does not succumb to fundamentalism or unjustified absolutism and that a proper understanding of varieties of universalism reveals this.
