Events 97 of 102
Edited by Roger-Pol Droit, the two volumes of “Philosophies d’ailleurs”, published by Editions Hermann, will be presented to the public, in the framework of World Philosophy Day, at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, on 10 November 2009.
The publication “Philosophies d’ailleurs” is a large philosophical multilingual anthology intended for beginners. The launch of this publication will be an opportunity to discuss the capital importance of essential philosophical texts from great civilizations, such as the Indian, Chinese, Tibetan, Jewish, Arabic, Persian and Egyptian civilizations. The anthology follows the recommendations of Georges Canguilhem in his 1953 UNESCO publication, which states that it is ‘necessary to have serious volumes, which can be easily handled, with selections of philosophical texts of the main cultures.’
The event is co-organized by Philosophie Magazine, France Culture and the Éditions Hermann, in cooperation with UNESCO.
It will be inaugurated by Pierre Sané, Assistant Director-General for Social and Human Sciences of UNESCO. Roger-Pol Droit will set the tone of the event with an affirmation that “The West does not have the monopole of philosophy”.
A discussion on the topic “Who am I? How the philosophies from elsewhere shift this question” will be animated by Alexandre Lacroix and Martin Legros from “Philosophie Magazine”, with the participation of Raphaël Draï (Hebrew philosophy), Serge Feneuille (Egyptian philosophy) ; Christian Jambet (Arab and Persian philosophies), Michel Hulin (Indian philosophy), Matthew Kapstein (Tibetan philosophy) and Qi Chong (Chinese philosophy). Jean Malaurie will be the guest of honour.
