Research and publication tasks
- integration and further differentiation, complimentariness, synergy and perspectives of open syntheses of sciences as the foundation of contemporary universalism;
- logical problems of "meta-languages", metatheory and metaphilosophy;
- historical and present-day types of universalism, implicite and explicite , and the imperative and definition of universalism as a metatheory.

Planning discussions
The editors of "Dialogue and Universalism" did not share the decision to change the name of the International Society for Universalism into the International Society for Universal Dialogue, but recognise this change.
On the other hand, we are certain that the scientific (meta)philosophical discussion on the purposefulness of names could prove to be prolific and interesting for the Society and the development of what we wish to call the intellectual and ethical movement of universalism).
We are ready to publish, without any bias, the justifications of all stands and proposals. Separately we include examples of the definition.
Moreover, we believe that this could be one of the most serious contemporary discussions:
- universalism versus totalitarianism, disintegration, postmodernism and nationalism;
- "absolute" oppositions and enhancing differences and contradictions;
- the possibility of universal ethics as the forum of a dialogue involving assorted moral codes;
- principles of the multi-range and multi-level qualities of identification: the perspective of conciliating patriotism, Europeanism and universalism, discussions with globalism;
- the co-created subjectivity of CENTRAL-EASTERN EUROPE, new forces of the integration of the Continent through the emergence of the largest Euro-region and mediation between the East and the West; " confrontation" or dialogue and synergy of civilization?
- open society, the "third way" and visions of universal society:
- LABOREM EXERCENS as the most productive perspective for devising a forum of discussions on the concepts of universal civilization;
-the critique of "Western universalism" in Asian doctrines and the possibility of universal approval of universalism as a metaphilosophy;
- areas and "levels" of the relations between science and religion. The differentiation between the aesthetic and/or ethical or cultural approval of religions and the epistemological and especially the ontological debate. A new dialogue between religions and humanistic materialism.

The calling of Universalism:
Up to now, philosophers have merely interpreted or changed the world; now, we are concerned also with co-creating it.
