L’idée d’une mondialisation humaniste : une analyse du choc des civilisations de Samuel Philips Huntington

Abstract

Summary this thesis highlights the absence of humanism in globalization, to consider its possibility despite the violence or wars observed between peoples with various cultures which would paradoxically want to get closer to each other under the leadership of the unifying project globalization. Indeed, in the shock of civilizations of Samuel Philips Huntington, we read that what characterizes the global geopolitics of the post-cold period is the confrontation between states with different civilizations. Contemporary globalization, as a result, is deployed under the wake of a relationship of antagonistic forces between the different civilizational entities of the world. This antagonism of civilizations, which Huntington calls « the shock of civilizations », shakes world peace and, consequently, makes us lose sight of the anthropocentrality which must furnish the relationships between peoples. This is why, by militant for a humanist globalization, we begin to make man, at least of the human, the center of interest of interactions between civilizations. The disproportionate will of the West to converge the whole of humanity towards its life ideals, political, economic and cultural, on the one hand and, the awakening or the awakening of rising civilizations, on the other hand make globalization obsolete. Far from being a harmonious rapprochement of peoples, globalization is rather expressed as a hegemonism where each power seeks to dominate the global political, economic and cultural space. All this is due to the mobile underlying the reports of states in the world : the natural resources of the planet. The race for natural resources makes globalization a simple relationship of peoples to the economy. Suddenly, humanity is exposed to all kinds of danger : civil wars, terrorism, conflict between states. Everything that makes it difficult to harmonious coexistence between peoples, inside and outside the states and civilizational areas. Yet the survival of the human species is not doomed to failure. Convinced of such a truth, our thesis is a contribution to a reflection on the conditions of possibility of a harmonious living together between peoples. This one passes, Inter Alia, by « panhumanism ». Panumanism establishes a humanist globalization in which man or, more precisely, human will be the supreme value that will furnish the relationships between peoples all over the world. Humanist globalization is opposed to any desire to homogenize cultures. But, in a context of cultural diversity, it invites the various civilizations to go beyond identity folds in order to achieve civilization, understood as defense and valuation of humans, without any civilization loses its identity. Thus the critical analysis of the shock of the civilizations of Samuel Philips Huntington leads us to reject his pessimism on the difficult cohabitation of the peoples with opposite civilizations. This is why we conclude that it is not impossible or difficult that civilizations live peacefully and harmoniously together. This is possible if and only if man becomes the center of interest, the end in itself of the relationships between peoples, between states. We are convinced that humanist globalization is possible. The results of our research set its foundations there, namely: Reform the UN; Understanding the world from the angle of cultural multi -artist and not under a vision of universalism; fight against capitalism ; Restore an egalitarian world company and finally highlight it African communitarianism. It is in this dynamic that humans will have the right of city in the concert of nations and, thus, humanity will regain peace.
