Overview

This book explores perspectives from new comparativism and new dialogism to expand research horizons and develop a comprehensive, multidimensional, and multilevel research method and model. By compiling recent research examples and case studies, the author reconstructs and reevaluates various explanations, integrating different ideas logically while presenting critical and forward-looking concepts. The work encourages discussions that span disciplines, cultures, and methodologies related to human existence. It aims at individuals engaged in cultural interactions and those interested in rigorous approaches to identifying, verifying, clarifying, and justifying philosophical issues. The writing seeks to contribute meaningfully to multicultural and interdisciplinary educational goals. The examination begins with an introduction to the ""Multidimensionality of East-West Dialogues"" and proceeds to analytically compare specific focal issues alongside relevant cultural and humanistic examples. It also inquires into applied concepts such as ""Cosmopolitanism,"" ""Rights,"" ""Tolerance,"" ""Conflict,"" ""Love,"" ""Death,"" ""Beauty,"" and even ""Martial Arts.""
