ONTOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF DIALOGIC RELATIONS IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY

Abstract

In an era marked by increasing globalization and digital interconnectivity, dialogic interactions have become essential to understanding human relationships, cultural integration, and epistemological development. This paper explores the ontological basis of dialogic relations, highlighting their significance in shaping individual identity, social cohesion, and philosophical inquiry. Drawing on the works of Mikhail Bakhtin, Martin Buber, and contemporary philosophers, the study emphasizes the intersubjective nature of being and argues that dialogue is not merely a communication tool but a mode of existence. The paper also addresses how dialogic ontology challenges modernist notions of isolated subjectivity and contributes to more ethical and authentic human encounters.
