Abstract
Intercultural dialogue and its many variants such as interfaith, interethnic,
and interracial dialogue set global scenes with some sort of differences
at play. This paper examines difference by proposing ways to develop
a reflective capacity relative to specific dialogic practices and goals which
are typical in peacebuilding. The chapter is organized into two parts. In the
first part, three dimensions of peacebuilding praxis are introduced which
focus on interactional needs, relational needs, and informational needs or
truth-value. Each is explored in specific cases. The second part of the paper
elaborates how these very practical matters can be valued differently
in different religious, intellectual, and cultural traditions. The differences
can be productively engaged, however, as we deepen our understanding
of the ways dialogic peacebuilding encounters activate different models of
personhood, means of relating, vocabularies of emotion, and ways of dwelling
in the nature of things.
