The East and the West: From Holism to Dialogue through Confrontation 

 

115

Hindustan Peninsula, the Maghreb countries, etc.). However, history also offers some 

examples which prove the existence of the possibility of dialogic confrontation resolution 

(e.g., the synthesis from which Moorish culture

26

 was formed when Spain was conquered 

by the Arabs or the Métis in the Americas). 

The article concludes that the spiritual “flight to the East” in European culture 

began in the early 1960s, and even now it is a very important indicator. Eastern aesthetics 

ifluenced the nature of Western art during the last decades of the 20

th

 century. The impact 

of Western culture turned out to be highly significant for the philosophical and aesthetic 

postulates of Chan (Zen) Buddhism, as well as other religious and philosophical ideas of 

the East. In the 20

th

 century, Europe - the successor of ancient spiritual values - gave its 

attention to the religious and philosophical systems of the East, trying to work out a new 

crisis-free attitude. The relations between the West and the East became isolated; and now 

we talk of the quantity and quality of their perception of each other, about how to find a 

new, global syncretism of Eastern and Western civilisations whilst retaining both their 

identities and their distinctiveness.
