Hence, an inter- as well as intracultural concurrence of ideas has been achieved. Though metonymy as a figure of speech depends on language, it is by no means entirely at its disposal. Beyond the hermeneutics of total identity and difference, the intercultural philosophy pleads for an analogous hermeneutics which emphasizes the role played by overlappings and regards them as the real seat of cultural universals. The essential task of intercultural philosophy is the cultivation of the insight into the epistemological, methodological, metaphysical, ethical, moral and religious modesty of one,s own approach to the one regulative ideal under different names. One who defines the truth in terms of one,s own tradition and the latter in terms of the former mistakes the truth of the tradition with the truth in the tradition and thus misses the inner culture of interculturality.
