The dualism between logos and praxis is still a root-cause of contemporary
theological and religious discourse. Consequently, interreligious dialogue is
divided as a field either related to comparative theology or philosophy or in
pursuit of a common action for social justice. Instead of the traditional logos
and the liberationist praxis, this paper will argue the Tao as an alternative
paradigm that overcomes this dualism and is more germane to this age of
globalization in the ecological crisis. It will propose three reconfigurations of
interreligious dialogue; (1) from an “either-or” mode of thinking to a “bothand”
way of life (T’ai-chi), (2) from an epistemology of knowing to a discernment
of the way toward life in and through sociocosmic narratives of the
exploited life (ch’i), and (3) from an ideologically motivated action based on a
historico-anthropocentric subjectivity to a participatory embodiment in an
intersubjective communion with the theanthropocosmic trajectory (Tao).
