GREEN DIALOGUE AMONG CIVILIZATIONS

 

When discussing this concept we must first answer an important question:

whether dialogue is an ends or a means. It is not intended to come through theoretical or philosophical discussions about cultures and civilizations and their relationships; rather we must open this chapter by asking what is the

status of the subject in this process? If we consider dialogue as a means then its subject will be its goal. The matters to be considered in this case are:

(1) A common subject and therefore a common goal among all participants.

(2)The importance and priority of the subject among participants that makes the time and energy spent in such a process valuable.

On the other hand if the aim is the dialogue itself then the subject will be important only for the creation and consistency of discussion. Apparent

Attractiveness and the content are two fundamental elements that can enrich such dialogues.

Having knowledge about the subject of dialogue-as a mean or as an end-is the only way to establish such a process and reach any kind of goal.

Now the question is whether the green dialogue among civilizations is a discussion with the environment as its subject just because it is an

attractive issue and the real goal is the discussion itself or whether this kind of subject has such an importance and priority that it is the common aim of these great participants?

We believe that green issues are important subjects with a unique attractiveness in the general process of dialogue among civilizations.

Different cultures are able to consider just a few parts of their customs,traditions, social behaviors, morals, and ruling habits in their

discussions. The only thing that includes all the goals and apprehensions of every civilization is the common loan of people: the EARTH. There is no

common subject with such an attraction among different languages-as the most important tool for dialogue-other than life, environment and the earth
