Intercultural dialogue is often invoked in vague reference to a method that can build cross-cultural understanding and facilitate global policy-making. The 25 chapters of this book--written by leading specialists in the respective areas--clarify the theoretical foundations of intercultural dialogue and demonstrate the practical significance of intercultural value inquiry, combining the perspectives of philosophy, conflict research, religious studies, and education.
