Dialogue of Religions and Dialogue of Cultures

Krystian Kałuża



Abstract

The article deals with the relationship between the dialogue of cultures and the dialogue of religions. The analysis of the concept of religion and culture shows that their contents are closely related to each other. There is no religion without culture nor culture without religion. Therefore, demand emerging sometimes to replace interreligious dialogue with intercultural dialogue is unfounded. A dialogue of cultures without a dialogue of religions is impossible. In order for a dialogue to take place, appropriate conditions must be met. One of them is the pursuit of truth. However, the truth is inclusive, not exclusive. Therefore, in religion there is no room for violence in the name of truth. For Christians, truth has a personal character. It is Jesus Christ, the “polyphonic” Saviour (Clement of Alexandria).

Keywords:

religion, culture, dialogue of religions, dialogue of cultures, monotheism, truth, violence
