Colloqium: A Crisis of Civilisation?
Organised by Espaces Marx in cooperation with transform ! europe and the Gabriel Péri Foundation
The current crises – economic, social, ecological, democratic and ideological – are interlocked. They reveal that we are in impasse in which not only a capitalist system now reaching its limits, has led us but also a model of relations both between human and nature and amongst humans themselves. Never before the awareness of the wholeness of the world has been as strong as it is nowadays. Can we live together in this world without questioning the values, the principals and models which the Western capitalism endeavours to impose the whole world on behalf of “globalisation”? Is not on the contrary required to conceive a “globality” which would allow a conjoint life in the respect of dialogue and the mix of cultures
