| Résumé : |
If violence is synonymous with life, it is vain to think that it is possible to eradicate it, one can only hope to attenuate it or displace it. Thus Democracy, of which Human Rights are the keystone, has tried to establish Reason as the privileged way to civilise conflicts. However, this experience is based on a double ignorance: ignorance of the contingent character of the notion of Reason, dependent on the particular historic circumstances in which it was born. Yet, human Rights are universal or do not exist. Moreover, referred to a legal kind of notion of obligation, they apply only to communities limited by borders, excluding from their field those who are not a part of it. The systematic breaching of them by the very people who are the guarantors reveals what ought to be hidden to preserve the dogma of universality which gives them their meaning: their normative, moral basis, which distinguishes man as a biological species, from his supposed humanity, the consequence of which is that they are denied to those (cockroaches, sub-humans...) in whom this “humanity” is not recognised. By limiting itself to fellows, the doctrine of Human Rights thus excludes Others, who are irremediably unknown and unknowable, not in their qualities or attributes, but as beings. |
