Universalism and Particularism nowadays: A Philosophic Point of View
Abstract

Looking at the works of Piovani and Jullien, the author opposes to the staticity of the universal and universality, the dynamics of the concepts of “universalizing” and “universalization” that, invoking the idea of process, keep a content that is refractory to every fixed univocity, and more accordant with the intercultural dialogue
