The main task of the conference is to provide complex reconsideration of the notion “the dialog of civilizations” in new conditions on different conceptual levels: from fundamental (ontological) to methodological and categorical. With such comprehension the dialog of civilizations can be substituted by another term “dialogue of philosophical cultures” which accounts new deep meanings and possibilities of the recent changes, occurred over the last decade. Now humanity has unique opportunity to build solidarity on other foundations, and the most expressive term for it would be the term “dialogue of philosophical cultures”. That is possible because nowadays much more intellectuals, actors of political and civil society and common citizens clearly see insolvency of the dominant value system. Alternative models of philosophical, political and social understanding of the present and projecting of the future gained more allies not only in the South, but in the North.
