principles to all societies alike seems simply unconvincing. In that sense, many cultures still remain hostile to human rights and fail to grasp what appears to us as its universality. The absence of words for ‘right’ in most cultures until the 18th centuries seems to support the view that natural rights are an elaborate fictional construct . But the question of where our self-conception as beholders of universal rights originates is not the issue here. Rather, one might question whether Rawls’ rejection

remark by saying that his atheism does not make him a good man. In fact, Grant says, Jefferson will save even Grant’s atheistic soul if he carries the cross for the sinners on earth. Grant explains that the black community in the quarter has spent centuries enslaved to white men, and that when Jefferson’s attorney called him a hog, he attacked the will and intelligence of the entire black society. In consequence, Jefferson now has the opportunity to stand up for his community. He has become a symbol

religious establishment. In 1871 Afghānī was exiled from Turkey because of a speech embracing Western science and defending philosophy as equal to prophecy.9 Although this later position had roots in the Islamic philosophy of the tenth to thirteenth centuries, it was considered a heterodox view that had been repudiated by theologians. Despite Afghānī’s activities as a reformer, he also inspired movements usually associated with the term radical or fundamentalist.10 Afghānī was a radical in so far as he

go to defend “their” Kosovo. We can now compare this vision with the one of Albanian People : Albanian Kosovars think that Kosovo is part of the Albanian Nation, and this, a long time before Slave people came into the region in VI and VII centuries. They are descendants of the Illyrian people that were living in the west Balkan region, including Kosovo, colonized by the Greeks in the VII century b.c. and then part of the Roman Empire from 27 b.c until VII when it was dominated by Slaves. They

au cœur des interrogations que nous portons au sein du programme de recherche de l’Université d’Amsterdam intitulé « Law and Drama : how Theatrical Practices are defined by, with, and against the Law in France & French-speaking regions (13th16th centuries) »2. La société médiévale a pour – fascinante – pratique d’interroger ses mythes sur la scène de théâtre. En même temps qu’elle contrôle et censure le théâtre, l’Église participe de façon pleine à son développement. Elle encourage et organise une

one of the latter. “Although it is difficult to predict the future of humanity, there are enough indications to believe that the relevance and influence of the message of Sri Ramakrishna are likely to increase in the coming decades and centuries” (Bhajanananda, p.54). Nowadays, Sri Ramakrishna’s ideas on religious pluralism are spreading all over the world through a spiritual consciousness of humanity, mainly thanks to four major trends: the influence of technology and the internet, globalization

animal, nisus…), even with the microcosm-macrocosm analogy: the balance isn’t realized by the animal itself, but by its divine mind or soul. The next cosmological movement took place during the Renaissance, i.e. the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It started with a criticism of Aristotle teleology, considering that proper scientific explanations should appeal only to efficient causes. At this time, nature is still described as a organism, but the force is immanent to it, which gives it a

densely populated area of Paris became a deserted area. In order to complete this sanitization through transformation, Haussmann “Wrecked hundreds of buildings, displaced uncounted thousands of people, destroyed whole neighborhoods that had lived for centuries’ (Berman 150-151). Haussmann’s work destroyed nearly 9000 homes and destroyed the gothic medieval Paris. Haussmann himself declared and justified the moral aspect of his actions in a speech to the city council: ‘‘En éventrant ces vieux pâtés de

but generalisations that come from research allow us to paint a fairly accurate picture of how people in a given country are likely – but never guaranteed – to operate. Cultures change, but cultures also maintain certain traits over decades and centuries. Japan is a good example of a culture that has changed drastically in some ways : more individualized, reduced loyalty to employers, in the last fifty years, but still holds to traditions and many cultural traits thousands of years old: harmony,
