This chapter explores how we can sustain today’s conflict-ridden globalised world by establishing productive communications on socio-political issues with individuals who hold alien backgrounds. The focus is on the work of Russian philosopher Mikhail M. Bakhtin, particularly his concept of ‘dialogues’, which involves interactions between ‘others’ who criticise ideologies commonly upheld within their respective communities. The central research question addresses how tolerance for heterogeneous socio-political ideologies can be cultivated by respecting each speaker’s perspective, allowing for critical engagement with opposing viewpoints beyond the emotional rejection or confrontation. Bakhtin’s ideas are introduced as a framework for contemporary citizenship, emphasising dialogue with those holding ideologically divergent positions. To illustrate, I reference several examples from Plato’s Socratic dialogues, which Bakhtin highlights as an exemplary form of communication where speakers collaboratively create meaning.
