Being affected by the other. (notice bibliographique)

SOMMAIRE.

La richesse que représente le pluralisme des styles intellectuels et la multiplicité des configurations discursives et culturelles est mise en parallèle avec l'appauvrissement qu'engendre le processus d'homogénéisation et d'hégémonie croissante d'une "koine" intellectuelle à prétention universelle. L'auteur souligne la dimension tragique qui s'inscrit dans toute rencontre, une dimension de pouvoir et de dépendance qui ne peut être annulée par les meilleures qualités individuelles d'empathie. Pour guider les scientifiques tant occidentaux que non-occidentaux sur la voie du dialogue transculturel et transnational, l'auteur présente brièvement sept règles.
