How are the 'old' and the 'new' expressed in the field of knowledge
and know-how? What did we know yesterday, and what do we know
today? What was, yesterday, and what is, today, the mythical part
in what we believe we know? And how do we define, in each case, the
core of concrete and universally valid knowledges? What rights and
duties do we acclaim as human beings, as women, as children, as
peoples or nations, and what understanding do we today have of
these rights and duties? What is the impact, of what we today call
globalisation, on the evolution of knowledge, know-how, and the
awareness of such rights and duties? To these questions, and to
other related ones, this book provides some answers. It is the
result of a conference held in Cotonou in October 2006, on the
theme "Traditional knowledges and modern science." It is dedicated
to the memory of Georg Elwert, a German Africanist who passed away
in 2005, and whose work on Benin, Africa and the Third World
remains a source of inspiration for many.
