In this interdisciplinary and cross-cultural synthesis of philosophy, religious thought, and political theory, Dallmayr neither accepts the "clash of cultures" dichotomy nor denies the reality of cultural tensions. Instead, operating from the standpoint of philosophical hermeneutics, he embraces cultural difference as a necessary condition and opportunity for mutual cross-cultural dialogue and learning. In part 1, "Relationality and Difference," Dallmayr explores the emergence of diverse loyalties and attachments in different social and cultural contexts. The assumption is not that different commitments are necessarily synchronized or "naturally" compatible but rather that they are held together precisely by their difference and potential antagonism. Part 2, "Engagement through Dialogue and Interaction," dwells on the major means of mediating between the alternatives of radical separation and radical sameness: the means of dialogue and hermeneutical interpretation of understanding. In this respect, the emphasis shifts to leading philosophers of dialogue such as Gadamer, Bernhard Waldenfels, and Merleau-Ponty. In a world where the absolutizing of the ego encourages selfish egotism that can lead to aggressive war-mongering, Horizons of Difference shows how the categories of "difference" and "relationality" can be used to build a genuine and peaceful democracy based on dialogue and interaction instead of radical autonomy and elitism"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Cultural pluralism. 650 0 $a Cultural relations. 650 0 $a Intercultural communication. 650 0 $a Difference (Psychology) $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Hermeneutics. 650 7 $a Cultural relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00885050 650 7 $a Difference (Psychology) $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00893414 650 7 $a Intercultural communication. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976084 650 7 $a Cultural pluralism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01715991 650 7 $a Hermeneutics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00955492 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20210723014933.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8F7542D2EB7B11EB93BE284041ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
