Cultural Pluralism and Acceptance of Others: Their Role in Advancing Global Peace
The book Cultural Pluralism and Acceptance of Others: Their Role in Advancing Global Peace by Prof. Dr. Ghada Abdel Jalil Al-Ghonemy, Professor of Aqeedah (Islamic Dogma) and Philosophy at Al-Azhar University, explores several pivotal questions: What exactly is cultural pluralism? What does it mean to accept 'the other'? What is meant by human fraternity? What are the manifestations of accepting the other? And what is the position of the Abrahamic religions regarding acceptance of the other? The book highlights that diversity and differences are divine aspects of creation, and these differences do not hinder convergence or mutual understanding. Cultural pluralism, as discussed in the book, involves mutual respect among diverse cultural and religious groups, founded on tolerance, love, equality, and shared living within a unified society.
