A Critical Study of Intercultural Philosophy as an Interreligious Approach as Viewed by Adhar Mall

According to the principle of the Other and agreeing with the Otherness, Adhar Mall has given an intercultural approach and, opposing exclusivism in  philosophy and culture, follows the theory of dialogue between philosophies and cultures for a better understanding of the truth. He also faces the religions on the same basis and proposes an interreligious approach, such as his intercultural approach, to understand the transcendent truth better. In the paper, the theory of  interdisciplinary philosophy as an interreligious approach is explained by a descriptive method and based on the principle of the Other and its strengths and weaknesses have been determined by a critical analysis method. The critique of modern and postmodern philosophy and creating the ground for dialogue between philosophies and cultures is one of its strengths; while relativity of the truth in philosophy and the relativity of being truth in religions and its state of being inclusive may be known as its failures. from the weaknesses of the above theory. Again, the comparison of the intercultural approach in philosophy as a humanistic field of study with interreligious approach may be regarded as another failure.
