Nietzsche argues that there is only one respectable person all through the holy book and he is Pilat, the Roman Emperors' successor, whose valuable and noble Irony "what is the truth?" in response to a person who insolently had deplored the truth before him, actually has enriched the holy book.
Asking about the truth, is the most fundamental question, which has challenged human's mind and he has always been looking for the answer for the following question throughout the history: "what is the truth?" Is it an objective or a subjective? Is it an absolute concept or not? If it is so, does man obtain it absolutely?
Different understandings from the concept of truth have caused the human beings stand in opposite sides of the line: clash or dialogue among civilizations. This essay aims to show that talking about "Dialogue among civilizations" is possible when at least from epistemological point of view, human beings believe that the truth cannot be absolute. It has been tried in this essay to show how much the concept of the truth is related to dialogue among civilizations.
