Features: This book attempts to consciously place itself within a context: the dilemmas and challenges of our time. What kind of era do we live in? How and to what extent does it differ from other eras? Numerous global events and crises either subtly or overtly make us feel that we inhabit a different world, one fundamentally distinct from the circumstances of our predecessors. This book introduces the understanding and interpretation of our era's condition by a philosopher and theologian (these terms should be understood within a new context) - Raymond Panikkar. Different interpretations lead to different responses, so intertwined with the interpretation of the era is the response to the era. The author of this book grasps three core categories of Raymond Panikkar: pluralism, dialogue, and intercultural philosophy, creatively organizing their intrinsic logical relationships to form a comprehensive scheme for responding to the challenges of our time.
