    Global Ethics of Compromise

    What are the normative assumptions and solutions proposed to develop morally right or wrong compromise typologies? Can we develop a universal ethics of compromise or does compromise vary depending on the socio-cultural history of a country? To what extent is culture relevant in shaping types and norms of compromise? The conference aims, firstly, to understand how to distinguish a compromise from a compromise of principles; what constitutes an ethical or fair compromise? Second, it will analyze if practices of compromise vary from one country to another. To do so, different types of compromise will be explored through geopolitical, philosophical, historical approaches, with a particular focus on Japan and Taiwan. This symposium will examine theoretical issues and practices associated with compromise, by adopting a global perspective. It will bring together contributions from European, American and Asian researchers.

    Colloquim on the modernity of human/animal relationships

    Ce colloque invite à une réflexion historique, philosophique et anthropologique sur la pluralité des relations que notre société entretient avec les animaux. Il interrogera également les pratiques pour mieux pouvoir imaginer notre devenir commun. Aujourd’hui un débat s’est engagé sur la façon de percevoir, classer, aimer, utiliser, travailler avec les animaux. Depuis l’animal (être singulier et abstrait des animalistes), aux animaux (êtres vivants avec qui nous, êtres humains entretenons des relations multiples et millénaires), il y a une différence notable. D’un point de vue culturel on observe aussi certaines remises en cause de notre modèle alimentaire et de notre régime omnivore avec l’abandon de toutes les nourritures d’origine animale et il nous semble important d'en analyser les fondements.
