Peace in the Horizon of Truth: A Metaphysical Explanation of the Role of Religions in Global Security

AbstractThis study adopts a philosophical and comparative approach to explore the metaphysical and hermeneutical foundations of peace within the monotheistic religions, especially Islam and Christianity. The paper interprets peace not merely as a political or social condition but as a mode of being (Being-in-Peace) a manifestation of harmony between human, world, and God in the horizon of truth. Through the analysis of concepts such as metaphysics of peace, religious teleology, and divine logos, it demonstrates that peace, in the philosophy of religion, is intrinsically connected with truth and justice, while violence arises from humanity’s separation from its divine end and ontological dependence. Philosophers such as Mulla Sadra, Allameh Tabatabai, Heidegger, Ricoeur, Levinas, and Gabriel Marcel are comparatively examined to show that peace, in both traditions, is a sacred and existential reality. Furthermore, the philosophy of interreligious dialogue, grounded in the divine logos, is shown to be a metaphysical event rather than a cultural exchange: a dialogical openness in which truth reveals itself through mutual listening. Thus, lasting peace emerges only when human reason returns to its sacred and teleological origin.Keywords: Peace, Philosophy of Religion, Metaphysics of Peace, Religious Teleology, Interreligious Dialogue, Divine Logos
