Cultural Interaction in Respond to Common Challenges

Abstract

Any culture contains both an orientation towards harmony between man and nature, and an orientation
to rule over natural forces, an orientation towards intrusion into them. It would be erroneous to bring
the crops to any single alternative axiological orientation. The “share” of each orientation varies
in different cultures and in different historical periods of the same culture. Plurality of axiological
orientation makes culture multidimensional, dialogical, allows the latter to transform itself, moving
to the periphery that was yesterday dominant in the culture. The tense relationship between the
axiological orientations, entering among themselves in the relationship of mutual criticism, rejection,
support, dialogue, constitutes the life of the culture and could be most productive in the construction
of the ecological civilization.
