Abstract

The main concern of intercultural philosophy is communication or the realization of a common understanding between human beings. Then this question arises that by what way this communication should be realized. The technology of mass communication, migration and social and economic affiliations and extensive scientific communication have caused human beings today to have multiple nature instead of having a single and integrated identity. Humanities disciplines are therefore expected to adapt to intercultural definitions of human identity and human communication. In this regard, we explain the three methodological models of polylog, dialogue and analogous hermeneutics by referring to the first-hand works of Wimmer, Kimmerle and Adher Mall, respectively, which have been presented for the realization of intercultural humanities. All three models consider dialogue as a condition for full-fledged communication. Continuing with Wolfgang Welsch's transcultural idea, we address the barriers to an intercultural approach to full understanding. These patterns seem to complement each other in some way, and although they agree on the negation of cultural absolutism and exclusivism and its implications, they each look at the issue from a particular orientation.
