| Summary: | In this testimony of an experience of human rights in Iran, the author attempts an « anthropological lesson » in which the observer looks at himself from the point of view of the Other and proposes this Other to do the same…The main problem is the religious concept of tolerance – concept rather inegalitarian and therefore negative, with regards to the legal concept proposed by UNESCO in 1995. This legal notion, under the name of tolerance, rather concerns what is called « respect » of the Other, based on principles of equality and fraternity among human beings and peoples. The author, who leaves to the reader free to have his own ideas, reminds us that Iran and France do not exactly share the same point of view on human rights and that they are rightfully entitled to formulate reciprocal criticism of each other. |
