Abstract

In the midst of the problems of human division and separation which cause various human suffering, dialogue is a way that can give a hope for all mankind to reconcile for the sake of human unity. The path of dialogue is never easy, but it is very possible to realize it because it originates from the very essence of the human being as a person. Wojtyła never specifically wrote about dialogue, but as a pope, he is known as the Pope of Dialogue through his work and actions. All those were rooted in his mature philosophical thinking about the man as a person in the dynamic correlation with the action. This thesis wants to make explicit Wojtyła’s personalistic thought about dialogue so that it can be a theoretical and practical inspiration for dialogical actions or movements that use dialogue as a way to some certain good. This Wojtyla’s personalistic thought of dialogue can be understood in three inseparable dimensions. First, dialogue has an anthropological dimension because it is rooted in the dynamic relationship between the multiplicity of person in the community through participation. Second, dialogue also has an epistemological dimension because it is a searching together for truth. Third, dialogue has an ethical-axiological dimension because it is a shared path to realize the common good. From his various actions during his pontifical ministry, it must finally be realized that dialogue has a practical character. Dialogue is thus an actus personae that must be realized. To realize a dialogue, several basic attitudes are needed, including: love of the truth and humility in the presence of the truth, the openness to the others, mutuality including mutual acceptance, mutual understanding, solidarity, refusing conformity and withdrawal to the community, and finally, metanoia.
