I titled my master's thesis as a civilizational dialogue between Islam and Confucianism, which further explained the assumptions. In my master's thesis, I want to approach the possibility of one global ethics that would find its basis in the traces of a dialogue between Islamic and Confucian system of thought. The work is based on the idea of »and-and«, which has one final instance in the philosophy of openness, which as such would not imply any exclusion of the West from the dialogue of a global ethic and the hegemony of Western ideas would not be relevant to it. The counter-idea to such a philosophy is »either-or«, in which there is complete exclusivity according to the principle of either one or the other. I will present the similarities between Islamic and Confucian thinking and the possibility of a dialogue in the plan to create a world philosophy, and the importance of dialogue for creating such a philosophy.
