INTERCULTURAL PHILOSOPHY: DIALOGUE OR POLYLOGUE?

Abstract

The article deals with the problem of the need to form fundamentally new worldviews. The need is caused by the clearly perceived crisis of the idea of globalization, which was based on the idea of a dialogue of cultures, but with an obvious presumption of Western European culture as a paradigm. In modern culture, in the Western European theoretical environment, ideas about the revision of the history of philosophy are formed and conceptualized from the standpoint of recognizing the entire diversity of historical philosophical traditions as equal and equally affecting the cultural development of mankind. In the history of philosophy, there is an experience of comparative philosophy, which, while trying to correct traditional world representations, nevertheless considered non-Western traditions of thought activity as secondary. The Russian history of philosophy traditionally focuses on dialogue, but not in the logical, characteristic of the Western European tradition, but in a phenomenological interpretation. The Russian tradition of dialogue implies a direct exchange between cultural universals, which actually corresponds to the modern concept of polylogue. Synergetic worldview, which is relevant today, implies mutual penetration, interaction, and the formation of innovative cultural universals, which is possible only in a polylogical, in a state of constant formation, essentially creative space.
