چکیده:
Peace is one of the major concepts in political philosophy. Various schools in political philosophy and
different political philosophers have presented different views about the ways that can help achieving
peace among nations. In recent years, the idea of the “clash of civilization” has intensified efforts

interaction through civilizational dialogue has been formulated as an alternative way for achieving
peace.

He then expresses his thought through a speech-act of a threatening ultimatum; he says: The west is now at an extraordinary peak of power in relation to other civilizations .....
