Abstract
The paper argues for the importance of intercultural competence and ability to conduct dialogue as the most demanded skills in the 21st century society. It lies within the framework of an interdisciplinary model of generation and transfer of knowledge. Special emphasis is on the theory of dialogism by Michail Bakhtin and the polyparadigmatic approach to the analysis of culture and society introduced by Jurij S. Stepanov. The overlap of two conceptual (cultural) world-views is analyzed as the basis for successful contact of two cultures.
