The Impact Of Civilization And Culture On Civilizational Dialogue And Building A New Middle Eastern Order

Abstract

Culture and civilization play an active role in shaping the identity of peoples by contributing to diagnosing their characteristics and in their role in leading society towards development and openness. Each historical stage carries the accumulations of the previous stage. Western civilization in the Middle Ages was characterized by a remarkable amount of development, ending with the emergence of what was called the European Renaissance. In these eras that Europe lived in, a new dawn dawned in the Arabian Peninsula, namely Islam, which spread with it its new civilization and culture in various parts of the world, which Europe considered as a threat to Western Christian civilization.
