摘要：Over the past few decades, “interreligious dialogues” has been becoming a hot topic and a frontier fieldin the international religious academic circle. Hans Küng, who is the chief drafter of Declaration Towarda Global Ethic, emphasizes many times that without the peace among religions, there could be no peaceamong nations, countries or cultures; without the dialogues among religions, there could be no peaceamong religions; without religious studies, there could be no dialogues among religions. His argument isactually a “syllogism that explains the importance of interreligious dialogues”. According to its inference,interreligious dialogue is so important that it concerns not only the peace among religions, but also thepeace among countries and cultures. Back to the end of 1980s, many people held the view that HansKüng's syllogism had overestimated the importance of interreligious dialogues. However, 20 years later,with the growth of the problems and phenomena of religions after the Cold War, and the obvious impactof religious elements or background to the conflicts among nations, countries and cultures, the importanceof interreligious dialogues has become a consensus in global politicians, religious leaders and scholars ofreligious studies.
