EDITORIAL
DIALOGUE AND OTHER FORMS OF INTERSUBJECTIVE COMMUNICATION
https://doi.org/10.5840/du202535213
We are pleased to present to our readers a monothematic issue of Dialogue and Universalism entitled DIALOGUE AND OTHER FORMS OF INTERSUBJECTIVE COMMUNICATION. The previous journal’s issue devoted to dialogue was published in 2013, and since then Dialogue and Universalism has published separate texts on dialogue and related issues.
The topic of this issue is at the very heart of the journal’s thematic scope. However, it encompasses a broader problem area than dialogue itself, i.e., it also formulates and considers problems of other forms of intersubjective communication (in the broad sense of intersubjectivity), that is, problems of forms of communication other than dialogue, among others, problems of announcing and linguistically advocating particular aims in non-dialogical way, propaganda, conveying information, and forming and propagating disinformation, as well as problems of communication playing the role of a foundational and necessary means of action. The topic of this Dialogue and Universalism issue is so broad firstly because forms of communication belong to a common kind. The boundary between dialogue and other forms of intersubjective communication is not sharp; moreover, all forms share „family” (generic) features which are blurred. Therefore, it is difficult to discuss dialogue alone while completely excluding other forms of communication. In revealing the nature of dialogue, analysis of these other forms is useful—it allows us to discern both „family” features as well as characteristics that distinguish dialogue from other forms of communication. Secondly, dialogue in social practices lacks a stable, universal identity, as it appears as a complex of its (universal, as one might postulate) essence and cultural and social factors. Therefore, the line separating dialogue from other forms of communication in real sociocultural situations is variable and blurred—between them lies an area of indeterminacy which contains communication forms with uncertain or undefined identities. Thirdly, and most importantly, other forms of communication are as crucial to understanding the contemporary world as dialogue itself. The current dynamic development of intersubjective communication is playing a leading role in transforming the human world. Communication serves as a means of transmitting both knowledge and pseudo-knowledge, and also as a means of shaping individual and collective consciousness. It is also the foundation of action, including being one of the primary means of struggle—in business, politics, and so on. Unfortunately, dialogue itself does not currently seem to play a leading role. Most often, calls for dialogue are limited to hazy or empty slogans and declarations. These slogans camouflage the actual intentions of those who express them, and in any case they are rarely followed by a constructive activity in the social sphere.
The texts in this issue are divided into two groups. The first group, titled DIALOGUE contains texts that consider existing philosophical concepts of dialogue and the authors’ own reflections on dialogue—reflecting the breadth of the issues at stake. The second group, titled COMMUNICATION TODAY, examines communication issues in the contemporary world.
The first collection includes a text analyzing Aristotle’s ancient concept of dialogue and texts referring to contemporary philosophical considerations on dialogue.
In the collection DIALOGUE it is worth paying attention to Michael H. Mitias’ concept of dialogue, which is extensively analyzed and discussed by Emily Tajsina, also by Muhammad Sultan Mubarok, Putri Ayu Mayang Sari, Ananda Aprilia Aulia Syara, Sri Herianingrum and also referred to in other texts of this Dialogue and Universalism issue. The unique character of Mitias’ concept becomes clear when compared with other contemporary philosophical concepts of dialogue, which explain it as follows (I quote after Michael A. Peters and Tina Besley): “[from]…the 'fusion of horizons’ (Gadamer), through dialogue as the 'ideal speech community’ and redemption of validity claims inherent in ordinary discourse (Habermas), to dialogue as the 'great conversation of mankind’ (Oakshott) and minimalist conversational ethics as the basis for civility (Rorty),” and, moreover, David Bohm’s concept, which has been drawn from Eastern sources.1 It is worth adding here other philosophers of dialogue: Franz Rosenzweig, Ferdinand Ebner, Eugen Rosenstock-Hussy, and Eberhard Grisebach. All of them maintain that dialogue is a form of conversation, as something linguistic. These conceptions follow the philosophical source of the word „dialogue”—dialegomai, which originates from ancient Greece and means “to become involved in a conversation with another.”
Mitias, on the other hand, offers a clearly ontological conception of dialogue, by grounding dialogue in human nature. For Mitias, dialogue is the foundation of human life. Mitias’ conception is far more radical than others, especially than Franz Buber’s I and Thou anthropic concept, and than those mentioned above, who constitute the contemporary core of thinking about dialogue, theorizing dialogue as something merely linguistic. Mitias’ thinking is based on commonsense intuitions and convictions.
Moreover, Professor Mitias and other authors in this volume expand the understanding and scope of dialogue beyond dominating philosophical meanings, precisely, by broadening the meaning of the participants in dialogue. In the philosophy of dialogue, the belief prevails that dialogue is a relationship between two human beings. Mitias, on the other hand, speaks also of dialogue between institutions, religions, and cultures. Mykhailo Beilin, Iryna Soina, Oleksandr Zheltoborodov, and Oleksandr Saltan postulate that dialogue is also a special relationship between humans and artificial intelligence, while Lidiya Gaznyuk, Yuliia Semenova, Olena Orlenko, and Hennadii Honcharov favorably present the dialogue between humans and wildlife, so they develop an idea similar to that postulated by Buber.
Surprisingly, the notion of a much broader scope of dialogue than a meeting or conversation between two human beings is poorly investigated by today philosophy. Expanding the set of participants in dialogue in philosophical insights is grounded in intuitions and beliefs outside of philosophy, where is talk of dialogue between humans and artificial intelligence, and dialogue between societies, nations, and religions. Among other things, authentic authorities, relatively rare and largely ignored in mainstream media, call—unfortunately, generally unsuccessfully—for dialogue between states, even groups of states and especially hostile blocs of states. The idea of dialogue between religions is also present in the contemporary human world; it belongs to the progressive religious circles’ canon of thinking and initiates ecumenical endeavors. It is it is worth remembering here that the idea and postulate for perhaps the most desirable and basic expansion of dialogue, namely the idea of dialogue among civilizations, was proposed by Mohammad Khatami, former President of Iran at the United Nations in 1998. This way Mohammad Khatami responded to Samuel Huntington’s clash of civilizations theory. The UN subsequently declared 2001 as the Year of Dialogue among Civilizations.2 Thus, it is outside philosophy, not within it, that one can find the most daring and progressive postulates for expanding the scope of dialogue. The ideas of Professor Mitias, the texts of Mykhailo Beilin, Iryna Soina, Oleksandr Zheltoborodov, Oleksandr Saltan, as well as Lidiya Gaznyuk, Yuliia Semenova, Olena Orlenko, and Hennadia Honcharov, the reflections of Rafał Pastwa, and other essays in this Dialogue and Universalism issue overcome philosophy’s backwardness in relation to the above-mentioned non-philosophical beliefs and ideas.
The challenge of expanding the scope of dialogue participants to include artificial intelligence, wildlife, religion, culture, and so on is the nature of subjectivity. Participants in dialogue must be subjects, and the subject is philosophically considered inextricably endowed with consciousness. This raises the question of whether culture, religion, artificial intelligence, and nature (wild or not) are subjects, whether they should be assigned a specific equivalent of human consciousness, individual or collective, or whether the necessary attribution of subjectivity to consciousness should be rejected.
The second part of this issue, entitled COMMUNICATION TODAY, examines communication issues in today’s cultural and social transformations. These transformations are not limited to the digital revolution, and especially not to the emergence of the Internet and its impact on individual and collective human life, nor to the role of social media. They also extend into the spheres of politics, business, culture, religion, and even science.
We hope that reading so diverse, valuable and important considerations presented in this Dialogue and Universalism issue will be an inspiring intellectual experience.

THE PHILOSOPHICAL USE OF DIALOGUE: THE EUDEMUS OF ARISTOTLE
https://doi.org/10.5840/du202535214
In this text, I propose to review Aristotle’s philosophical use of dialogue. To do this, I will test the thesis that the Stagyrite’s use of dialogue is due to a Platonic period that he would have gone through during his youth, which would also explain his adherence to theses foreign to his doctrine, such as that of the immortality of the soul. By reading some preserved fragments of the Eudemus, I will reject that thesis and concentrate on constructing an alternative exegetical proposal.
Keywords: Aristotle, Aristotelian psychology, Eudemus, De Anima, immortality of the soul, dialogue.

COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PHILOSOPHERS: ADHERENCE OR DIALOGUE
https://doi.org/10.5840/du202535215
The nature of the communication between philosophers constitutes an enormous part of the history of philosophy. In the case of philosophers who lived in the same period, there is the possibility of direct contact, of exchanging letters, of mutual replies. However, when centuries and changed circumstances intervene, the issue becomes complicated. As a result, accusations such as distorting the philosopher, making him say what he did not say, being loyal to him or not, are the things that every thinker who engages with the history of philosophy has to face. In this paper, we will argue that strict adherence to a philosopher and engaging in dialogue with him/her are two different things, that the latter does not completely exclude the former, rather it is the authentic form of philosophical loyalty in contrast to what it might seem at first glance. For this purpose, we will compare two contemporary thinkers, Alain Badiou and Gilles Deleuze. After discussing Badiou’s dialogue with Plato in the context of The Republic, we will touch upon Deleuze’s reading of Henri Bergson and clarify our argument.
Keywords: Alain Badiou, Gilles Deleuze, Plato, loyalty, dialogue, interpretation.

RELATIONAL IDENTITY. SUBJECTIVE IDENTITY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIALOGUE
https://doi.org//10.5840/du202535216
The article analyses the subject’s identity from the perspective of the relations category. We can adopt the following assumptions starting from the Latin etymology of the concept of relatio and the conceptualisation of dialogue in the philosophical tradition. First, relational identity is a specific experience of „between” for the philosophy of dialogue, an encounter, the presence of others, communities, the world, culture, etc. Second, the relationship is understood as an attitude; life within the framework of relations and references to other people is necessarily a relationship taking place in an axiological space. The relationship understood in this way can be conceptualised as a type of engagement, which, on the side of the philosophy of dialogue, corresponds to the ideas of responsibility, respect, ethics of discourse, or reference to the community. Finally, the third element of the Latin understanding of the concept of relation is the linguistic, articulatory, and narrative dimension, which is consistent with the understanding of the relationship as reporting and telling. From this perspective, the relationship is a possibility of understanding, interpreting, and articulating the context, situation, meaning, or significance experienced by the subject. All these elements constitute the relational nature of the subjective identity.
Keywords: Dialogue, philosophy of dialogue, relation, subjective identity.

HUMAN DIALOGUE AS HUMAN ESSENCE? REFLECTION ON MICHAEL H. MITIAS CONCEPT OF HUMAN DIALOGUE
https://doi.org//10.5840/du202535217
The concept of human dialogue as human essence is presented by Michael H. Mitias, a contemporary American philosopher, in his book Human Dialogue (2023), within the framework of the project Towards a Universal Civilization. Analyzing the eternal problems of human life, such as understanding and cooperation, knowledge and conversation, reason and affection, truth and values, human nature and essence, and in general the prospects of humanity, Mitias defends the thesis that humanity, common to our entire human race not as an abstract concept, but as a basic quality, is essentially rational and inexorably dialogic. And conversation is our all-encompassing and all-pervading environment. Mitias’s thoughts, ideas, theses and my interpretation of them as well as inspirations driven from his work are the subject of the present essay.
Keywords: Human nature; human essence; conversation; individual dialogue; intercultural dialogue.

NAVIGATING THE DIGITAL ERA: RATIONALITY, DIALOGUE, AND THE FUTURE OF GLOBAL COMMUNICATION
https://doi.org//10.5840/du202535218
Dialogue is treated in this paper as a fundamental aspect of human nature that enables individuals to express themselves, seek truth, and build universal civilisation. This study explores the role of dialogue as a manifestation of human rationality and its implications for social harmony. Utilising a multidisciplinary approach, this research integrates philosophy, psychology, and social theory perspectives to analyse how dialogue shapes individual identity and collective understanding. The findings reveal that dialogue fosters cooperation, reduces prejudice, and enhances trust between groups but is often hindered by polarisation, fanaticism, and misinformation in the digital era. This paper argues that effective dialogue requires individual communication skills and social structures that promote inclusivity and rationality. This study contributes to the discourse on building a more inclusive and just civilisation through meaningful communication by addressing these challenges.
Keywords: Dialogue, rationality, social harmony, universal civilization, communication.

HUMAN’S DIALOGUE WITH WILD NATURE IN THE INFORMATION SOCIETY
https://doi.org//10.5840/du202535219
The information society provides the person with a significant array of information about the surrounding world, about wildlife habitats and changes in its landscapes. It is noted that in the modern social world, the volume of online, non-contact observation and admiration of wild nature landscapes is increasing due to the use of the latest technologies and the use of satellite observations of the Earth, which is reflected in the worldview orientations of people. The specifics of the co-evolution of wild nature and the cultural landscape are analyzed, which is characterized by the expansion of the cultural landscape into wild nature areas, which is caused by the expansion of industrial and agrarian spheres of social production, as well as the growth of human cognitive and communicative activity in the spaces of wild nature. It is shown that not only industrial activity, but also leisure, recreation and tourist trips to wildlife areas are meaningfully changed thanks to dialogue through computer and communication technologies. The socio-cultural dimensions of human nature correction and the principles of relations with wild nature in the context of philosophical and ecological discourse are clarified.
Keywords: The sacredness of wild nature, dialogue with wild nature habitats, escapism, mysterious objects, unknown phenomena, landscapes.

DIALOGUE BETWEEN HUMANS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: TECHNOLOGICAL AND SOCIO-CULTURAL ASPECTS
https://doi.org/10.5840/du202535220
Basing on the analysis of the forms of dialogic relationships in virtual reality, which are formed by one of the products of digital technologies—ChatGPT, we identify characteristic forms of human dialogue with the world of intelligent technologies in the modern socio-cultural space: virtual dialogue, real-virtual dialogue, and virtual-real dialogue. We consider new opportunities opened up by intelligent technologies related to overcoming language barriers, improving healthcare opportunities, increasing life expectancy and other sociocultural areas. Attention is drawn to the creative possibilities of ChatGPT in literature; it has been suggested that top human levels of creative writing skills cannot be achieved simply by increasing the size of language models.
Keywords: electronic communications, dialogue in the virtual world, digital technologies, generative pre-trained transformer (ChatGPT), virtual culture, types of online activities.

SOMATIC SYMPATHY CATEGORY AS A UNIVERSAL BASIS FOR DIALOGUE BETWEEN RELIGIOUS AND SECULAR REALITY IN POSTSECULAR SOCIETY
https://doi.org/10.5840/du202535221
The category of somatic sympathy by Ralph R. Acampora can constitute the basis for the dialogue between religious and secular reality. The space for implementing this dialogue may be the project of a post-secular society, outlined by Jürgen Habermas in 2001. For this purpose, the concept of the German philosopher is generally presented, which postulates the translation of religious content and messages into a language adequate for secular minds, mutual learning between believers and non-believers, assuming that religion can play an inspiring role in the Western pluralistic society. The basis will be considerations of a phenomenological and existential nature in relation to the category of somatic sympathy by. Acampora as a possible bridge—an „earthly measure” in the dialogue between religion and secular reality in a pluralistic society. For this purpose, a definition of post-religious communication was presented and its positive dimension in a pluralistic society was indicated.
Keywords: Somatic sympathy, dialogue, postsecular society, post-religious communication.

DIALOGUE IN THE DIGITAL ERA: INTERNET MESSAGES AND THEIR ROLE IN SHAPING MODERN PHILOSOPHICAL DISCOURSE
https://doi.org/10.5840/du202535222
This article explores the role of the internet in shaping modern philosophical dialogue, focusing on how digital media impacts discourse. The study examines how algorithms, misinformation, and unequal access affect the quality and inclusiveness of philosophical discourse in digital spaces. By using an interdisciplinary approach incorporating Jürgen Habermas’ communication theory, Jean Baudrillard’s (1994) concept of simulacra, and Shoshana Zuboff’s ideas of surveillance capitalism, this article analyzes the challenges and opportunities in managing philosophical dialogue in the digital age. The results suggest that while the internet holds great potential to democratize philosophical discussion, it is also vulnerable to information manipulation and algorithmic distortion. Practical recommendations include increasing algorithmic transparency, improving digital literacy, and developing dedicated platforms for philosophical discussions. The article concludes that collective efforts are needed to maintain digital spaces as inclusive, rational, and ethical environments to support the development of philosophical discourse in the modern era.

EXPANSION OF COMMUNICATION MEANS: EXISTENTIAL-ANTHROPOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE ANDINSTRUMENTAL ROLE
https://doi.org/10.5840/du202535223
The argument is made that the rapid pace of change in digital technology and its accelerated dissemination leaves modern individuals with no choice but to master, “tame,” and employ these technologies in communicative practice for the benefit of collective progress. It is shown that the expansion of communication means, linked to the challenges of digitalization, interacts with traditional issues such as indoctrination, political manipulation, and information warfare, provoking new difficulties in finding relevant methods and formats for engaging individuals. It is argued that life in a world radically transformed by digital technologies requires the development of a range of competencies that allow individuals to take advantage of the opportunities and avoid the pitfalls associated with functioning in a digital environment.
Keywords: informatization, digital technologies, communicative ecology, communication channels, synchronous and asynchronous communication, interpersonal communication, anonymity, multi — temporality, multi — existence.

POST-TRUTH, FAKE NEWS, AND OTHER SIMILAR ONES — THEIR NATURE AND ROLE
https://doi.org/10.5840/du202535224
I demonstrate that post-truth and fake news, as well as less frequently discussed in philosophy dis-information, mis-information, certain types of propaganda and other related pseudo-news, have the character of pragmatic truth in William James’s understanding. I call these phenomena, which form a family, instrumental messages. It is not correct to explain them as lies, or equivalently as falsehoods in the common sense, i.e. as negations of classical truth, i.e. truth that objectively represents reality. Although, which may seem paradoxical, instrumental messages are usually such falsehoods. These messages are means of action, or more specifically, means of realizing the interests of their beneficiaries by means of cognitive camouflage. The camouflage is correspondence truth. The current eruption of post-truths, fake news and other instrumental messages is a result of the spread of a pragmatic system of values. This eruption manifests a profound civilizational change, consisting in the instrumentalization of the social world and in this also in the adjustment of values to particular interests, non-universal, variable, not subordinated to „eternal” guiding ideas.
Keywords: Post-truth, fake news, pragmatic truth, William James, action, interest, extended epistemology.

HARMONY IN DIVERSITY: A PHILOSOPHICAL EXPLORATION OF MULTICULTURAL BUSINESS COMMUNICATION AMONG ENTREPRENEURS IN ASIA
https://doi.org/10.5840/du202535225
The research presented in this paper examines the philosophical aspects of multicultural business communication among Asian entrepreneurs. It focuses on how cultural diversity impacts communication practices, trust-building, and adaptive strategies in a dynamic economic environment. The research employs qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and participant observation with entrepreneurs across various Asian countries. The data were meticulously analyzed through coding, categorization, and thematic interpretation to uncover patterns and underlying principles in cross-cultural communication. This research concludes that successful entrepreneurs integrate cultural awareness, relational trust, and adaptability to navigate diverse business environments. Key factors, including language nuances, nonverbal communication, cultural perceptions, and local ethics, significantly impact outcomes. Entrepreneurs who embrace these elements achieve harmony in diversity, while those who neglect them face misunderstandings and conflict. This research provides novel insights into the interplay between culture and commerce, offering theoretical and practical frameworks for fostering mutual understanding and collaboration in Asia’s multicultural business landscape.
Keywords: Cultural pluralism, intercultural dialogue, ethical adaptation, relational harmony, and multicultural synergy.

THE UNITY OF TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE AS A WAY OF COMMUNICATION AND UNDERSTANDING
https://doi.org/10.5840/du202535226
This article attempts to have an ontological relationship with subjective realities using spatial rhetoric, meaning about the understanding and continuity of the traumatic experience of people, regardless of their cultural and historical affiliation. Understanding is considered as evidence that is provided by the subject’s locative participation in the event, by mental dialog. The subject receives the status of a witness in the performative space of damage (avant-garde art, actionism, trial). The artist or juror is able to witness trauma by providing a discourse of justice through the language of non-semantic signs. This language conveys generational trauma not through semantics, but through the personal harm of the witness. Therefore, this kind of hermeneutic practice carries a purely subjective experience, not relying on semiotic systems of moral, legal, cultural, historical and scientific meanings, but, on the contrary, contradicting them.
Keywords: Evidence of damage, experience, justice discourse, trauma event, locativity, involvement, communication space.

COMMUNICATION MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES IN PREVENTING THE SPREAD OF MASS PROPAGANDA IN DIGITAL SOCIETY: CASE STUDIES IN ISRAEL AND PALESTINE
https://doi.org/10.5840/du202535227
This research takes a unique approach in analyzing communication management strategies applied to prevent the spread of mass propaganda in a digital society, with a case study of the Israeli and Palestinian conflicts. The main focus is how governments, media, and non-governmental organizations in both regions use digital technology and social media algorithms to control the flow of information and the circulation of narratives. The research method used is a qualitative study with a case study approach. Data was collected through digital content analysis, in-depth interviews with communication experts, and literature reviews on propaganda and communication technology. Findings show that both Israelis and Palestinians rely on social media to spread their respective narratives, but results vary. Israel managed to maintain control of the narrative through a structured communication strategy, while Palestine used a grassroots approach to attract global sympathy. Digital technology, while effective in disseminating information, has also fueled more profound polarization in both societies.
Keywords: Management, communication, mass propaganda, Israel, Palestine.
