The contemporary world is full of various, surprising occurrences arising in of dynamic changes and collisions of phenomena, often contradictory in their nature. Human, embedded in a world of various axiological systems and discourses, becomes a participant in the game of reason and belief that impedes dialogue and may be a source of conflicts. In this perspective, the key question is about the role of education in preparing people for living in a multicultural world, marked by both opportunities and challenges. The answer requires a wider view, which is possible by adopting an interdisciplinary perspective.
