When we talk about "dialog or clash of civilizations, we at
least, have two important preposition in our mind: 1-There are different real
entities that are called civilizations. 2-They are a set of closed circles that
may clash or dialogue. The main question that I would like to deal with is that:
Are there, really, different civilizations in the world? Based on my studies and
also different papers that we received last year in the conference of" Heritage
of Ancient Civilizations" with the participation of Iran, Italy, Egypt and
Greece (that will be published soon with my edition), I want to argue that the
mutual cultural impacts of people of the world in the past and present centuries
are so hard that we can talk about a unitary civilization, today; which all
people of the world in different ages have contributed to its development.
