Jean Stoetzel : Is it possible to carry out a survey on the social and humanistic sciences ?
The last General Conference of Unesco, at the suggestion of the French delegation, adopted a resolution concerning a world survey of research trends in the social and humanistic sciences. Its promoters feel that the survey will widen the perspectives of a science which is still subservient to Western culture. The project will of necessity meet with difficulties, not only from those who believe that only one type of science exists (our own) but also from non-Westerners who feel that stress laid on traditional cultural elements will prevent social progress. The major difficulties arise from the insecure relations existing between societies representing different cultures. This critical stage must be overcome. The role of intermediary played by certain non-Western countries which are technically highly developed (Japan for instance) can be considerable. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
