Concerned with the survival of Christianity in the Middle-East, Rene Habachi engages a dialogue between thinking and life. Half a century ahead of his time, Habachi puts forward a proposal for peaceful coexistence---something which today's diplomacy is still struggling to sketch out. In a Mediterranean where traditions abound, nationalities vary, cultures overlap and civilisations succeed one another, Habachi opts for a philosophy anchored in the present, having recourse to traditions of the past, so as to prepare a better future. Respectful of the three monotheistic religions in the Middle-East and cognizant of the practical difficulty in managing a peaceful coexistence, Habachi calls for dialogue between the three religions, while assigning to each a specific task: for Judaism, the task of hospitality; for Islam, the task of tolerance; and for Christianity, the task of gratuitousness. Habachi remains convinced that only healthy and equitable economy is the basis for solidarity.
