The article discusses the theological concept of «ontology of peace», which is opposed to the «ontology of violence». This distinction belongs to the modern theologian John Milbank and has heuristic value for Christian metaphysics in the need for its dialogue with postmodern philosophical and theological narratives. «Ontology of peace» is the fundamental truth of Christian thinking and life practice, allowing us to recognize the weight and significance of differences as a gift of divine analogy.
