The book addresses the challenges and opportunities of dialogue in today's world from a philosophical, theological, anthropological, and sociological perspective. Since contemporary societies and cultures are characterized by growing conflicts, loss of trust, globalized interdependence, the fragility of certain individual identities and the prevalence of select collective identities, questions concerning dialogue are of crucial importance. The contributions in the book address the following topics: intercultural dialogue, interreligious dialogue and the challenges for dialogue in post-communist societies in the context of modernity, the relationship between various philosophical and theological outlooks (Christian feminist theology, American pragmatism, Vattimo) and dialogue, and the role of dialogue in a quest for universalism and global justice. The book encompasses contributions from all members of the project group and a foreword by the leading Girard scholar Wolfgang Palaver (Innsbruck University) and was published by a renowned international publisher Lit Verlag.
