Abstract
Europe's culture of modernity seems to bear a fundamental task: the endeavor to create a general theory of the universe, of the cosmos, of the world and of mankind in order to understand the identity of the European individual. A process of decolonization is necessary not only as concerns territories and economies, but also ways of thinking and images of the world. This chapter focuses on the issue of African identity since this can only be built or discovered if the Africans shrug off the identity assigned to them by Europeans. In so doing, they offer images of Europe, which is discussed in the chapter. There problem of bringing together the universality of human rights with the 'particular' of local cultures is examined from the point of view of democracy and development. From the neo-Confucian perspective emerges a criticism of democracy and its principles. Keywords:African Renaissance; Europe; human rights; neo-Confucian perspective
