Opis

Who is the Human Rights Man? Who is he addressing? Starting from an alarming report on the current situation of humanity, victim of increasingly violent events where the human seems to have become a mere illusion, Dr. Clément N'Doua takes as a basis the philosophy of Levinas, centered on the ethical and metaphysical question of the other, to explore the Human Rights without a face, i.e. universally recognized to every human, and to root them in the face of the other. Constructed in an academic manner, like a briefing note, this essay attempts to break out of modern hypocrisy to propose solutions to a problem that affects our society as a whole, namely the extent to which the hierarchization of civilizations leads to serious violations of Human Rights. Clear and concise, with an accessible vocabulary, Levinas and the Rights of Man "Without Face" challenges the reader on every page, making him react while teaching him a very beneficial lesson. From this reading, one undeniably comes out more knowledgeable, the author knowing how to perfect his demonstration, the subject being serious enough to worry us.
