00:00Welcome to Median TV and books in this edition with the last book by the writer-philosopher

00:14Suleiman Bashir Dian, which has just been published and universalized in the Alba Michel editions.

00:20In his latest essay, entitled Universalizing Humanity through the Means of Humanity,

00:26which he gave at the ENES in 2023, the philosopher comes back to the questions of universality

00:32and singularity that are at the heart of his reflections and his commitments against tribalism,

00:40identitarism, nationalism and other words of this beginning of the 21st century.

00:47Suleiman Bashir Dian encourages a plural world, decentralized, which aspires to universal humanity,

00:53which is truly common to all humans and which is obviously not imposed by a culture or language.

01:00I invite you to listen to Suleiman Bashir Dian.

01:03This book begins like this, I speak of the trouble in the universal,

01:06it is enough to remember a number of works published recently and indicating that the universal has become a big issue.

01:15I would say in particular elsewhere in France, a country of universalism par excellence.

01:21I quote books that come to mind.

01:26There is a collective work called Universal in Debate,

01:30a magnificent work by the philosopher Francis Wolff entitled Universal,

01:35and others.

01:37So the universal has become a big issue.

01:41Speaking of Francis Wolff, he is a bit responsible for this book.

01:46Francis invited me a few years ago to come and give a lecture at the École Normale Supérieure.

01:53He had organized something he called Philosophy Mondays,

01:57where he asked people who work in philosophy, who write in philosophy,

02:01to come and present their work and be interviewed by the students.

02:06In the email he had sent me, he told me it might be the time for me to come and talk about the universal

02:13in its relation to the religious particularisms you wrote about.

02:17This did not happen.

02:19Suleymane Bachir Dianne Meil put the question of universality and singularity

02:25at the heart of his reflection and his commitment to calling for a universal rich of all the particulars.

02:31In this essay that brilliantly dialogues cultures,

02:35the philosopher shows that the universal takes into account the plural of the world,

02:41but that humanity is not a juxtaposition of tribes.

02:44No region of the world can alone decree what is universal.

02:50We must forge it together,

02:52even if thinking about humanity as a whole is an infinitely difficult task

02:57and requires a philosophy of decentralization.

03:01Let's listen again to the philosopher Suleymane Bachir Dianne.

03:06Everything has shown us,

03:08during the health crisis and the environmental crisis,

03:12how much we are one and the same species.

03:15As I always say, the virus of COVID-19 had gone around the world in one night.

03:20For it, we are three times nothing.

03:23We are a completely vulnerable species and a species-one.

03:27For example, we said it at one point,

03:30it did not prevent our selfishness from sprouting,

03:34that if we do not vaccinate everyone, it is as if we had not vaccinated anyone.

03:38In the same way, for the environmental crisis,

03:41we realize that the harm I can do to the forest at home

03:44is a harm I do to the lungs of humanity in general.

03:48So our answers must be collective answers.

03:52Since what attacks us treats us as one and the same species,

03:56it is time to respond as one and the same species.

03:59Unfortunately, we are not there.

04:04But in this it is necessary,

04:06this is where I place what I am trying to do in my work

04:09and in my teaching on the universe.

04:12Recognized as one of the great philosophers of our time,

04:16Suleymane Bachir Dianne was born in 1955 in Saint-Louis, Senegal.

04:21He is the first Senegalese to have integrated the École normale supérieure l'ENES in Paris,

04:26where he first specialized in science philosophy since 2008.

04:30He is a philosophy professor at Columbia University in New York

04:34where he heads the African Studies Institute.

04:37After teaching for a long time in Dakar and Paris,

04:40his research focuses on logic, Islamic philosophy and African philosophies.

04:46Let's listen to Suleymane Bachir Dianne again.

04:50The date of Bandung, 1955, is important.

04:53It is an event that we do not remember enough,

04:56but which was of considerable importance.

05:00Freshly independent countries from Asia

05:03and countries that were going to become so in Africa

05:06met in Bandung at the invitation of President Sokarno at the time.

05:10It is an invitation in which not much comes out,

05:15nothing other than the condemnation of colonialism.

05:19But the important thing was not in the final declarations or resolutions,

05:24the important thing was in the very configuration of this conference.

05:29This is the first international conference not convened by Europe.

05:33Europe was the center of the world,

05:36which convened the others and organized international conferences.

05:40The African nations, the Asian nations,

05:43who met at the Bandung conference,

05:46speak of Europe, a Europe that is not present.

05:49And which is present in the discourse,

05:52because it is for this conference to say

05:56that we have the right to colonize another for whatever reason.

06:00So this is a first moment of great decentralization.

06:05And music to finish, and the new clip of the singer

06:09Brussels-Morocco-Belgium Towson with Bibalik.

06:12Towson continues in the summer.

06:15On October 26, Towson will perform for a single concert in Europe

06:20on the stage of the Cigale de Paris.

06:24The audience was eagerly waiting for the return of the Moroccan-Belgian artist,

06:2826 years old.

06:30He left the stage for two years to better organize his career.

06:34A few million streams and views later,

06:37the artist returns stronger than ever,

06:40having opened his own label, developed his music

06:43and completed his studies.

06:46I suggest you listen to an excerpt from Bibalik.

06:54What you say is false, I know all your flaws

06:57I don't want to make efforts anymore,

07:00it makes you hesitate, you say the wrong guy.

07:14Thank you, dear viewers, for your loyalty and information.

07:17We continue on our different channels,

07:20Média TV Arabic, Média TV Afrique, Média TV Maghreb

07:23and of course on our digital media, medianews.com
