Civilizations : questioning identity and diversity
Can we agree on a definition of civilization and use the term without ulterior motives? Since its emergence in the vocabulary of Western Europe, this notion has served as a standard for progressive Enlightenment ideas as well as for forms of imperialism and the expression of more or less latent racism. The problems surrounding the use of this word, both singular and plural, call for caution in its usage.
