The Ethics of Dialogue (presentation)
First, there is another "for" each of us. And the other is a Muslim, the other is the outcast, the other is the husband, the other is the child, the world etc.. A sort of super subconscious of solipsism.
Second, the other exists as subject and not only as an object. There is a separate and did not ask me for permission to exist. Even the rocks, the trees, animals. In other words: you can not turn stones into bread.
Third, the other is not the object of conquest, conversion study: is (s) subject to their rights, with the same right to question, to question me, I have. The report is therefore two-way: dialogue because dialogue is not soliloquy. It is not only questioning, but also leaves challenged. So there is a need for listening, humility and equality.
Fourth, although I think the other (the other can be a religious or cultural) is wrong, I have to get in touch with him, otherwise there is no dialogue and there is no peace without dialogue.
Fifth, a willingness to talk is the supreme ethical principle. If one denies the dialogue, it ends in divorce, with the war, with the bankruptcy, with the disaster.
Sixth, the dialogue must be total. As the English say: there is nothing "non-negocial. Everything must be put on the table, otherwise it is dialogic dialogue, dialogue is not human, it is diplomatic dialogue. The objective is to win.
Seventh: ethics is linked to political, religious, and is dependent on the result of a culture.
This relativizing ethics, but makes it practical and effective.
Eighth ethics stems from religious dialogue and at the same time it is its cause. It's a vicious life as all things past.
Ninth, no one has the right to promulgate an ethic. Ethics is not promulgated. It turns out. And it turns in the dialogue.
also in a global context which is that of today no one is entitled to promulgate an ethic of universal and absolute.
Tenth: the contemporary ethics is confronted with a "novum" that had never occurred in history: the "novum" of so many people dying of hunger, thirst, starvation and violence. And that awaits redemption concrete: no listing of ethical principles, but the saving behavior operationally, cleansed of any messianic claim.
