摘要：A "dilemma of culturality" for philosophy, tending to universality, is given
with the fact that there is not one and the definitely adequate language or
tradition of philosophy. There are many, each of them being cultural, not
natural. The question is about the possibility of systematic philosophy with the
presupposition that there are different cultural coinages in every philosophical
thinking which can be influential on every level of reflection and
argumentation. Intercultural philosophy is bound to reflect on this problem. In
the following text, I propose to distinguish four different types of centrism
being influential in intercultural encounters: expansive, integrative,
separative, and tentative centrism. Then some examples are given for certain
types of centrism in the fields of history and philosophy. Finally, I shall
argue for dialogical or rather: polylogical interactions, in the field of
philosophy.
