La Notion De Droits De L’homme Chez Un Humaniste Musulman Du Xixe Siecle: L’emir Abdelkader Al-djaza’iri

Abstract

Humanism designated in Europe since the Renaissance, the philosophy that has been put forward by the development of the human and ethical qualities of Man. Admitting to consider humanism from this angle, are we able to think that a Muslim humanism has appeared on the emblematic figure of Emir Abdelkader al-Djaz'irî ? It is to this question that we will endeavor to answer the three aspects of Humanism, namely human rights, freedom of thought and tolerance, under the three theological and philosophical notions that are omnipresent in the Emirs’s books: the rights of Humanity (huqûq al-insâniyya), the free examination of the sacred texts (al-idjtihâd) and the Adamic fraternity (al-ukhuwwa al-âdamiyya).
