中新社北京4月8日电 中国著名哲学家、哈佛大学燕京学社社长杜维明近日在北京接受中新社“东西问·名家坊”专访时指出，面对全球化带来的多元文化挑战，人类社会面临一个关键抉择：是选择文明对话，还是走向文明冲突。他认为，文明的交流互鉴是推动世界和平与发展的重要动力，也是关乎人类存续的关键。
杜维明强调，每个文明都有其独特的价值和智慧，冲突并非解决问题的唯一途径。在全球化的背景下，不同文明之间的对话和理解变得愈发重要。他引用儒家思想，倡导“和而不同”的理念，认为不同文明应尊重彼此的差异，通过对话增进共识，以实现和谐共存。
杜维明指出，当前世界正经历深刻变革，各种社会问题和挑战层出不穷。在这个关键时刻，推动文明对话，不仅能够增进各国间的相互理解和信任，还能为解决全球性问题提供智慧和方案。他呼吁国际社会，尤其是知识分子和媒体，应承担起推动文明对话的责任，以防止文明冲突导致的潜在危险。
杜维明的见解在全球化的语境下显得尤为深刻，他的主张为构建一个多元、包容、和谐的世界提供了哲学思考。通过深入的文明对话，他相信人类社会能够找到共同的价值基础，共同应对未来的挑战，实现真正的和平与繁荣。

BEIJING, April 8 (Xinhua) — Renowned Chinese philosopher and Peking University’s Yenching Academy Director Tu Weiming recently told Xinhua’s “East-West Questions” in an exclusive interview that humanity stands at a critical juncture, facing a choice between embracing civilizational dialogue or succumbing to civilizational conflict amidst globalization’s cultural diversity.
Tu emphasized that every civilization holds unique values and wisdom, and conflict is not the sole means to resolve issues. Amidst globalization, dialogue and understanding between different civilizations are becoming increasingly crucial. Drawing on Confucian thought, he advocates the principle of “harmony in diversity,” believing that civilizations should respect their differences and foster consensus through dialogue to achieve peaceful coexistence.
He pointed out that the world is undergoing profound transformations, with numerous social problems and challenges emerging. At this pivotal moment, promoting civilizational dialogue can enhance mutual understanding and trust between nations, as well as contribute wisdom and solutions to global issues. Tu called on the international community, particularly intellectuals and the media, to shoulder the responsibility of advancing such dialogue to avert the potential dangers of civilizational conflict.
Tu’s insights are particularly profound in the context of globalization, and his advocacy offers philosophical reflections for building a diverse, inclusive, and harmonious world. Through in-depth civilizational dialogue, he believes that humanity can find common values to jointly address future challenges and achieve genuine peace and prosperity.
