The aim of this contribution to the discussion of intercultural dialogue is to point to two diametrically different approaches to the adoption of critical standpoints – between negativism and positive criticism – that is, between the attitude of passivity and the attitude of active courage to do. Because positive criticism – unlike mere negation – enables an opening out of thematic space to new possibilities, it is also capable of transforming the narrowly understood war–peace polarity into reality of a different quality, and, at the same time, to give it a new, so to speak global, meaning. In this way inter-cultural dialogue, not forgetting its reliance on historical contexts and the postulations of its own traditions, achieves its own justification.
