Description
This book gathers the cumulative insights of over sixty years of Leonard Swidler's work in interreligious, intercultural dialogue. Offering a "Dialogue on Dialogue," he shows why diatribe, debate, and the like are ultimately unproductive and destructive. Swidler lays out his methods for engaging in Deep-Dialogue, Critical-Thinking, Emotional-Intelligence, Competitive-Cooperation, as well "common sense" guidelines for the novice and expert alike on how to move beyond one's own perspective to experience real encounter and dialogue - and live accordingly!
Reviews / Votes
"This is the summa of one of the greats of religious dialogue.The fruit of a lifetime of reflection and action,this book shows that dialogue is not merely an intellectual search for truth but a dance of life, a way of authentic, enriched living and a transformation of self. This volume is a gift to all who seek a humane, globally responsible, morally universal ethic for their own life. (It also shows you how to go about developing one.)" - Rabbi Irving (Yitz) Greenberg, founding President, Jewish Life NetworkMore details
