Abstract
Persons who talk about essential human problems make a dialogical situation, with a humanistic motif and purpose, because of man. There are creating presumptions in the basis of any dialogue. A man is aware of human ontological incompleteness and imperfection, so the fact that he is gnoseologically limited encourages him to search for truth with the assistance of other people. These are philosophical presumptions of any dialogue. A dialogue implies the fact of encounter of man with man. This condition is the acknowledgement of human dignity, as well as necessity of disagreement between the interlocutors, which implies anthropological conditions of the dialogue. Psychological presumptions of the dialogue are: tolerance, patience, sincerity, honesty, insecurity in possesity the absolute truth, courage, confidence and respect for the interlocators. The dialogue as an immediate social relation hypothesizes free, equal and responsible interlocutors; sociologically speaking those would also be conditions of the dialogue.
All these presumptions significantly exist in analysed documents, more or less explicitly, but its religious presumptions have always had doctrinal priority, uninterrogative point from which the Church starts its communication with the world Transcendental humanism which is supposed to be its essence, does not consider the expression of human dignity and his heteronomy to be opposed The dialogue of the Church with the world has always had its doctrinal priority, universal purpose »the offer of divine goods Church had been given from God«, that exist, at least implicitly, in all of the analysed documents, but which does not diminish the importance of other dialogical aims, and its other levels as well.
