الأديان السماوية و العولمة : جدلية التحاور و التنافر

Abstract EN

The messages of monotheistic religions especially Islam are featured by the tendency towards universality.

So it addresses any human regardless the place and time he lives in or civilization to which he belongs.

Monotheistic religions address all people based on common aspects: the origin of creation, human dignity, general human rights, the unity of divine, freedom of choice and the unity of high human values and ideals.

They deal, at the same time, with the differences between humans as divine universal laws.

Globalization, as a human product, aims to make the thing economically, politically, socially and culturally speaking universal, so it meets monotheistic religions at the point of universality, but it is surrounded by two opposing dialectics.

On one hand, globalization makes one pole dominating the world’s economies and cultures and eliminating the local uniqueness and national interests.

On the other hand, it seeks communication with others and mating cultures and economies what provides societies with more sophistication, stability and security.

Based on this ground, we propose the dialectic relationship between monotheistic religions and globalization in terms of dialogue and opposition “disharmony”, so we design the following questions: What is the relationship between religions and globalization? Is this relationship communicative (interactive) or repulsive? What are the positive and negative aspects of globalization? Is it possible to find a common base between religions and globalization to serve humanity?
