Dialogue and Universalism

Dialogue and Universalism is the peer reviewed academic journal of the International Society for Universal Dialogue (ISUD).

The journal publishes philosophical articles from all philosophical traditions and domains. Metaphilosophical diversity is admitted as it is believed that dialogue, discussions, also clashing between philosophical traditions, schools and attitudes as well as drawing in philosophizing from other kinds of human knowledge lead to a synergy effect which develops and enhances philosophy as a whole. Dialogue and Universalism tends to show that philosophy is an essential eternal domain of human culture and an inevitable element of the nowadays human world.
