What can systematic philosophy contribute to come from conflict between cultures to a substantial dialogue? This question was the general theme of the 29th international symposium of the Austrian Ludwig Wittgenstein Society in Kirchberg.

The sections are dedicated to the philosophy of Wittgenstein, Logics and Philosophy of Language, Decision- and Action Theory, Ethical Aspects of the Intercultural Dialogue, Intercultural Dialogue, and last not least to Social Ontology. Our edition include (among others) contributions by Peter Hacker, Jennifer Hornsby, John Hyman, Michael Kober, Richard Rorty, Hans Rott, Gerhard Schurz, Barry Smith, Pirmin Stekeler-Weithofer, Franz Wimmer and Kwasi Wiredu.
