16-22 mai 2013.Université de Bilgi, Istanbul, Turquie.Présentation du séminaire :"Both the Western and the Muslim world are undergoing a phase of very important transitions that rise questions of political legitimacy. In Europe, the financial crisis has overthrown longstanding traditions of national sovereignty and it has eroded the social basis of democracy.The question Europe is facing is not only if supranational decision-making can have the same democratic legitimacy in the absence of a European nation, but also which institutions can establish and foster the democratic process. Also in the Arab world the nationalist paradigm has lost much of its attraction and has given way to a religious transformation of the public sphere. The issue is how religion, as a source of political legitimacy, comes to deal with such important values as pluralism, toleration and civil rights. Last but not least, on both sides of the Mediterranean governments are increasingly confronted with claims for social justice.Goal of the Istanbul Seminars 2013 is to throw light upon The Sources of Political Legitimacy in philosophical, sociological and legal terms.The relevant questions are:- What is a good and just society?- Can religion be a source of political legitimacy?- How a democratic legitimacy can be assured at the heart of theEuropean integration process.- Turkey, the new soft power in the Muslim world?The Istanbul Seminars 2013 welcome international students, postgraduates and researchers to join a week of philosophical meetings with renowned intellectuals who are committed to the issues of pluralism and democracy.In the past few years, many students from France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Israel, Turkey, India, Spain, UK, USA, Russian Federation, Poland, The Netherlands and Greece attended the seminars.NB: There are no registration/attendance fees, but pre-registration for the seminars is required.
