The paper seeks to detect the most recent trends in identifying of social, political and cultural dimensions of liberal thought. Two such ways of theorizing are discussed. On one hand, the conventional conception of liberalism as a language of individuals' entitlement is presented. Liberal theory is associated here with general socio-cultural discourses of pluralism, individual rights, rule of law, constitutionalism, liberty, free market and human rights. On the other hand, a critical stance by I. Wallerstein is analysed. Wallerstein conceives the liberal proposal as a sophisticated project directed towards a development of modern geoculture, an ideological basis for the unequal, worldwide distribution of wealth and power, and baptises it as The Modern (Capitalist) World-System. According to Wallerstein – and the author of this paper shares this view – evolution of structures of the World-System is far from completion, and the recent ,,triumph'' of capitalism and liberalism must be seen as one of the many stages of the evolution, and not as its peak and/or the ,,end of history''.

Cultural, social and religious diversity is one of the most valued and most valuable aspects of our contemporary, globalized world. Sometimes it even tends to be described as a gift and invitation to dialogue instead of conflict and confrontation, as numerous authors – Samuel P. Huntington, Mary Habeck, Paul Berman, Bruce Bawer and many other – would have us to believe. Dialogue between religions – Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam – is an object of peculiar interest, expectations and hopes. This paper presents recent dialogic tendencies in cultures and societies as one of the most important manifestations of humanism (both religious and areligious), which is reconstructed in reference to social change, modernization, enlightenment, toleration and pluralism as phenomena analyzed and deliberated by Francis Bacon, on the one hand, and the contemporary Macedonian philosopher and Muslim theologian, Ismail Bardhi, on the other. Is enlightenment without secularization possible? Does religious passion and zeal always lead to suspension, “overcoming,” elimination of reason? In the conclusion, the significance of works by the young Polish artist Joanna Rajkowska is highlighted as an example of humanism and dialogism which struggles with the recent waves of islamophobia in Europe.

This paper is an attempt to reconstruct the difficult and problematic, but yet vital and crucial, links between liberalism and eurocentrism. This relationship is considered the result of mutual self-seeking and profit-seeking with the process of colonization as historical and formational “epicenter” of european modernity. Colonization, the “expansion of Europe”, demanded an ideological background and backup which in reverse were fostered and strengthened by the opportunity of belonging to the extensive “colonial space-time”. The “Rise of the West” together with the “technologies of colonization”, refined and perfected during the era of “the long sixteenth century”, would have been inconceivable without the presence of specific “ontology” – the possessive individualism conceptualized and analyzed by C.B. Macpherson in his works on liberal (liberal-democratic) political theory.
