A mística como caminho para o diálogo interreligioso

Abstract

In the face of this challenging moment in which humanity finds itself, in regards to the polarizations and fundamentalisms of various types, the reality provoked by these changes occurring at the present time, in which all paradigms are being questioned, we pause to question, in particular, religious fundamentalism. This topic has shown itself to be worthy of attention, on the part of researches and also on the part of society in general, given its conception of reality in relation to the responses given on the part of religions has been worrisome because they have put at risk, in some situations, the peace among themselves. We call attention to the history of the human person in as much as he is religious and to the psychological, structural and symbolic structures which humans has built over the long periods of history. And as an answer to a possible overcoming of these fundamentalisms, we point out the mystical condition of the human person, that is, his openness to the transcendent, the root of all religious structure, as a possible openness to a dialogue between the different traditions, foreseeing the peace and progress as a result of an openness to all that is different.
