5. UNIVERSALIZING DIALOGUE

Abstract

Arnold Toynbee, the famous British historian and philosopher, argues that modern society should achieve a kind of universal peace in the new millennium. Toynbee asserts strongly that wars and culture clashes destroy the foundation of a civilization. He states: a comparative study of recognized civilizations all over the history shows that social destruction is a disaster whose secret hidden key could be found in the nature of war. In fact, principally, when a war is provoked by a civilization, it is also an independent cause for its destruction.
