Abstract

Intercultural philosophers, by accepting the "other" and criticizing modern philosophy on the one hand, and benefiting from the philosophical multiplicity of the postmodern era, and also the attention to the requirements of globalization, on the other hand, speak of intercultural philosophy as a new trend in contemporary philosophy. And by rejecting exclusivism in particular philosophy and culture, they seek a theory of dialogue between philosophies and cultures. A theory that requires the possibility of examining new ideas from the perspective of the mentioned philosophy and provides the basis for ideas such as Rumi. Like the other, in Adhar's view, it belongs to "absolute existence and its various manifestations" in Rumi's thought. The basis on which we can talk about the possibility of rereading intercultural philosophy. In the present article, the theory of "intercultural philosophy and its various dimensions" have been explained by the "descriptive-analytical" method and based on the basis of "other" and "absolute existence and dissemination of truth" as a hypothesis. On this basis, Rumi believes in the multiplicity of cultures and philosophies. This multiplicity of the field of intercultural philosophy and the attempt to achieve the overlapping of philosophies and cultures - the knowledge of the absolute truth beings for human. On the other hand, this fact prepares the ground for compassion and dialogue between philosophies and cultures and provides horizons of common understanding between them.
