One of the missions of the Humanities is to recall and reconsider the
cultural and intellectual legacy of nations in order to discover
their capacities of addressing the contemporary issues of modern
world. During the last three decades, Intercultural Philosophy as a
philosophical approach has provided a unique way to engage with
intellectual, literary, religious and artistic heritage of nations
and civilization and to locate the contemporary world issues in them.
This kind of philosophizing has opened a new horizon to thinkers of
different cultures to involve deeply with those concepts of dialogue,
communication, coexistence, pluralism and difference. In order to
thematize the relation of the constitutive elements of every culture
with other cultures and the contemporary world.
Throughout history, Persian literature has been known as the most
profound representation of Persian world-view and ethos and still is
the reflection of the contemporary Iranian culture. Reflecting on the
relationship between "Literature and Intercultural Thinking" is the
first step in the extensive study of the relationship between
constitutive elements of literature specially, Persian literature,
and that of intercultural thinking. In this vain, the relationship
between different literary genres with intercultural orientations and
the chief concepts of intercultural thinking can be examined. This is
to discussing the role of Persian language and literature in
intercultural engagement and recalling the historical experience of
dialogue and intercultural exchange in the field of Persian language
and literature. This is to discuss the role of Persian language and
literature as the mediator for the interculture encounters, in a
manner that enabled the historical dialogue and inter/cross-cultural
exchanges.
The Iranian Society of Intercultural Philosophy kindly invites
University faculty members, postgraduate students and researchers in
the field of Persian language and literature, philosophy and other
related areas of Humanities to present their research and actively
contribute to the development of this interdisciplinary space of
dialogue. The conference will be virtual and will be hold in both
Farsi (Persian) and English languages.
