It is time to believe in the puissance of logos that words have a virtue; the virtue of being ‘spoken’, being ‘named’. Various global issues we encounter in the present times carry a characteristic of their being and that motivates us to pay heed to the revealing power of dialogue. Through dialogue, we bring things to their full presence. Unlike narrative, in which we try to display the fleeting presence of things and aim at displaying their historical character, dialogue tries to fix the latent foundation of things. Dialogues among civilisations have only one purpose and that is to be respectful towards cultural diversity and individual freedom. What is desirable in the current post-Cold War era is to create a world forum where people from different civilisations and cultures can evolve towards multilateral and multicultural levels. In addressing the world’s greatest challenges, such a forum seeks to stimulate greater global cooperation and sustainable development. These cultural brush-up sessions have been confronted by many challenges in the past, particularly the challenge of dialogue between Islamic and western civilisations. It is prime time for different nations to close ranks with each other in a fertile and efficient cultural and intellectual alliance. We should respond to socio-political realism with an objective and independent global dialogue. Civilisations shall be able to reveal themselves during the dialogical process as grounded and rooted. Unlike Samuel Huntington’s views on the clash of civilisations, there is historical evidence that civilisations coexisted without significant conflicts at a supra level. Besides, there is a variety of cultural (linguistic and religious) variables within a civilisation leading to intra-civilisational strife. In other words, we are not living in close-knit homogenous ethnic groups, even within a civilisation. The forces integrating cultures and civilisations are not the results of plain divisions. The calculations are complex and multilateral. Knowing the significance of language, we cannot de-contextualise it. It has to develop its meaning and discourse against a certain background. Language can help global citizens to orient intercessions towards bringing forth the cultural foundation of things and view being proposed. Written and oral transactions in language have marked the way people think. Ideas, principles, institutions, values and attitudes and so on, have gone through the texts of great writers. This written and oral transaction assists human beings to go through the complex structure of communication at a diverse level. Within the celebrated globalisation, recipient language is neither derogatory nor catastrophic, as long as it is altered and serves the actual communication purpose. On the same account, globalisation does not prompt us to level the diversity; rather it helps to dissolve the intense and pulling pressures of differences. The soundest approach to the corporeality of globalisation is the linguistic interaction between people. Great people believe that linguistic globalisation might lead to the hegemony of one language at the expense of all others. This hegemony might take the form of inadmissible linguistic and cultural tyranny. Nonetheless, experience has shown this to be nothing beyond the old norm of linguistic borrowing. By developing dialogue among civilisations, we can involve people of assorted backgrounds into a mutual and cooperative search for truth. Through dialogue, civilisations shall be able to shed light on what is present, and with a desire to bring forth what is hidden. It is high time for nations to get involved in a global dialogue, so their cultural presence is registered at international fora. The way language enriched the universal linguistic heritage, civilisation can also enrich the global heritage by becoming increasingly involved in a constructive, durable and outstanding dialogue. This dialogical global community is the twin flame of the ancient ‘Greek Polis’. At this point, we must be motivated to trace connections between dialogue and cultural meta-narratives. Through this imprinted and embedded dialogical discourse, we shall be able to find different ways of connecting man to the ‘other’. Language helps us to see culture and life in non-fragmented ways. This dialogical process on a global scale shall require both intra- and inter-cultural participation. This dialogical fashion shall promote peace and harmony among people, all people. Devoid of traces of superiority and inferiority complexes, there should be coordinated efforts to support and encourage multilingualism at school level. Indeed, multilingualism shall open the gateways to efficient communication at global fora. Our efforts to bring peace and harmony through global dialogue shall not serve the purpose till the time we realise the value of all the languages as an expression of diverse cultures. We have to realise the contributing impact of languages on our lives and on the pattern of our communication. The attitude permeating the whole experiment will be kindred to that of anthropologists getting to know the culture of other participants by learning their language. On this praxis, civilisation shall be able to recover and rediscover the capacity of its cultural narratives. By rediscovering cultural narratives, we do not expect the readers to bracket this idea as nostalgic. Through rediscovering the capacity of cultural narratives, global citizen can become more grounded during the process. Moreover, such constructive global forums shall rehabilitate the misconstrued ideas about different civilisations and correct some major injustices of cultural and religious historiography.
