Annotation The article is devoted to an integrated study of the problem of dialogue as a philosophical concept of Eastern culture on the example of the ancient Chinese treatise “Tao Te Ching”, which was written by Lao-Tzu. In the course of the study, philosophical ideas of Ancient China are being considered, those that are situated at the forefront of the conceptual picture of the world and represent the golden fund of the philosophical-anthropological thought of Chinese culture. Among the fundamental religious and philosophical doctrines it is customary to consider Taoism as one of the most important, the main theses of which are described in the ancient Chinese treatise “Tao Te Ching” – a cultural source, imbued with dialogic principles in the formation of a communicative bridge between man and various forms of being. In the framework of the study of Eastern culture, the problem of dialogue has been studied not completely and requires further research. As a result, the author has carried out a detailed analysis of the concept of dialogue in the philosophy of Martin Buber, who is the founder the philosophy of dialogue. The leitmotif in M. Buber’s religious philosophical worldview is the dialogism, aimed at the study of religious teachings, the starting point of which is the concept of the dialogue. In the course of the work, the basic distinctive features of M. Buber’s dialogue were revealed providing an opportunity to explicate his characteristic signs of dialogical relations in the “Tao Te Ching”, i. e. relations between “man-Tao” and “man-Te”. Based on the results obtained, the author concludes that dialogue as a philosophical concept completely permeates the picture of the world and the philosophical worldview of China, thereby affirming the high positions of dialogical relations in Eastern culture.
Key words dialogue, dialogism, “true dialogue”, “I-Thou” and “I-It” relations, conceptions of Tao and Te
