ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a critical assessment of the dominance of the Western civilization that detaches the causes of conflict from civilizational differences and addresses the concept 'Dignity of Difference', presented by Professor Jonathan Sacks in his 2002 book. It offers a support for the concept as a new theology, a construct of common understanding and tolerance, but also questions whether relying heavily on Dignity of Difference may underestimate the politics and economics of violent conflicts. The Dignity of Difference emphasizes the failure of the political science and economics to resolve conflict and appeals for more focus on religion. The chapter argues that in today's globalized world less people would belong to one identity or one community only. Identities are important, but they are not always pre-determined, they are not always final people hesitate between identities or embrace several identities. The Multi-identity individuals live in multi-identity communities.
