和而不同:全球多元文明和平共处之道

Harmonious but different: the way of global multi-civilization coexistence

全球化时代的世界文明是多元化的。多元文明如何和平共处?西方人没有解决好这个问题,还提出文明冲突论。当今威胁人类和平共处的主要因素是文化帝国主义。以和而不同的原则处理不同文明的和平共处,首先要提倡不同文明的和平对话。和而不同的思想已经成为我们构建和谐社会、建设和谐世界的指导性思想。

World civilization is diversified in the age of globalization. How do the multi-civilizations coexist？ The West put forward a theory of cultural conflicts, which shows they haven＇ t found a proper way to handle this issue. Now, the main threat of the coexistence of human civilizations is the cultural imperialism. So the principle of ＂harmony with keeping difference＂ is the guideline to deal with the coexistence of different civilizations, which advocates peaceful dialogue among different civilization. This principle directs us to construct the harmonious society and harmonious world.
