Résumé
--
In this period of dialogue and cultural rapprochement, when countless studies have demonstrated the links and convergences between civilisations and cultures and their reciprocal borrowings, thereby reinforcing the concept of humanism, it is very important to view these discussions in the light of earlier research undertaken by UNESCO shortly after its creation. In the course of his teaching and research, Joseph Yacoub has uncovered a wealth of UNESCO's surveys and declarations on the philosophical foundations of human rights, the rapport between civilisations, democracy, and the philosophical and cultural relations between East and West from 1946 to 1952. As a complement to this study, the second part of this book, both theoretical and practical, treats the links between the universal and the particular. The author tackles the concepts of culture, cultural diversity and human rights illustrating his remarks with a concrete example: ancient and Syriac Mesopotamia. In this way, he reveals the antecedents to the current debate on humanism and demonstrates that humanist values have no frontiers, having been shared by every civilisation.
