The book contains seven original scientific contributions by members of the research project group, in which they raise questions about the foundations, characteristics and conditions of genuine and open dialogue in a multicultural society, where it is not possible to rely solely on one’s own frameworks of tradition, and about where can we locate the bearers of dialogue and interculturality. The book brings new perspectives on topics of dia-logic, philosophy of intersubjectivity, closeness and difference, communitarianism, exceeding moral disagreement between cultures, religions and interfaith dialogue. If a genuine dialogue (genuine closeness) is an indispensable basis for solidarity and compassionate society, which should at the same time be focused to the future, then recognition of our dependence on each other and our openness for the other is necessary.

European societies are increasingly aware of the need od dialog between cultures and religions. According to European White Paper on Intercultural Dialogue and other sources intercultural dialogue is important for the future of European cultures and nations. Genuine dialogue can strengthen the awareness of a common identity among Europeans, revitalise national cultural identities and strengthen creativity achievements. In the paper we present the key elements of genuine intercultural dialogue and show differences between dialogical attitude and other typical attitudes in intercultural contacts, postmodern relativism and fundamentalism. Then, the outcomes of own empirical research on intercultural dialogue in the secondary education in Slovenia and some other European countries are presented. Although at times it would seem that religion plays only a margin role in education, our research shows just the opposite. Religion is one of the foundation stones of cultural identity. Religion is present as soon as there evolves more than just simple tolerance, and as soon as a contact that would reach the level of cultural identities is encouraged. Indexed in Scopus (d,h), ERIHC.
