Pluricultural Europe: in Search for the “Sensus Communis” through Intercultural and Inter-Religious Dialogue

Summary/Abstract: The fundamental thesis of this paper represents the fact that only the understanding between cultures could offer the path to peace. Today we are facing the pluralism as a very important issue of the human coexistence. Trying to surpass the analytical and conceptual thinking, the philosophers (F. Julien, R. Pannikar, etc.) present philosophical and (inter) cultural conclusions on the understanding between cultures and on changing the scale of values that could lead to peace. Today the philosophy and religion tend to become rather systems of faith than vital orthopraxis. The interculturality mission is to remember the revolutionary essential role of religions. In the case of cultures that don’t have evident cultural contiguity, the development of stability will begin with intercultural and inter-religious dialogues which represent the main instrument of mutual knowledge.
