Far from offering some kind of sanctuary, ethics is subject to all the commercial pressures that constitute what we call globalisation. Economic globalisation leaves little space for diversity. It generates a constant reworking of systems of values, leading to social tensions. In Europe, dissent essentially takes the form of resistance to the growing influence of a certain philosophical outlook we think of as ‘American’: principlism, utilitarianism and pragmatism.
These concepts, in many ways specific to the Anglo-Saxon world, are difficult to reconcile with continental ethical values. The institutionalisation of solidarity and a certain conception of humanity fundamental to the Roman-German model lead to inevitable misunderstandings when they rub up against philosophical thought from across the Atlantic.
These two moral views of society today both demand to be given a pre-eminent position within European politics. Each is attempting to impose its paradigms. That competition often takes place without the knowledge of citizens. This makes it important to make this adversarial dialogue public, underlining the particular characteristics of the continental model. Such an approach can help build bridges between the European perspective and the Anglo-Saxon model.
Strengthen friendships and exchanges of European and international students
Forty European and international students from any discipline and having validated license 3 (master, doctoral, professional) are expected for a series of lectures and seminars. Training will be provided in English, French and German by European teachers from all backgrounds: law, medicine, history, philosophy, theology, industry, sociology, environment, etc., around themes addressing the major ethical issues today.
The “Summer School” is part of the continuity of partnerships undertaken several years ago by the CEERE with various universities – Vienna, Karlsruhe, Yale… – and various associations working on ethics, such as Médecins du Monde, le Cercle éthique des Affaires, ALSA and others.
A university open to Europe
Students and their teachers will be invited to build a course of study in which Europe occupy a privileged position. The training aims to clarify deepen and discuss various ethical perspectives, taking care to brig to light these complex issues particularly European philosophical and cultural dimension.
