Description
Résumé:I only want to offer some general reflections on preliminary questions which may be of some use for situating and assessing the importance of Inter-Religious Dialogue (lRD) especially for the European mind. In a first remark (1) I want to underline the overriding importance and strategical role of IRD at the present moment of the general evolution of the global system. From this flows (2) a short reflection on the - what we may call- "dialogical nature" of religion. Further (3) - from my Indian experience - I wanted to stress the primacy of the lived dialogue over preconceived theories about dialogue and its openings. From this also follows (4) a recognition of the appropriateness of classical categories like exclusivism, inclusivism and pluralism and of the problematic of dogmas and doctrines in IRD (5). But this cannot (6) dim and water down a sort of inescapable decisiveness and uniqueness challenging the IRD. Finally (7) I want to close my response with some remarks concerning the question of absoluteness.
