“Socrate” International Prize to Aziz Al Haddadi
The "Socrate" International Prize for philosophy has been given this year to the Moroccan Professor Aziz El Haddadi, for his book entitled "Dans quelques instants, Socrate arrive...". Aziz El Haddadi’s book (Editions Post-Modernité), was granted in 2004 one of Naji Naaman’s Literary Prizes (Merit Prize, out of competition), for retracing the thoughts of the great philosopher Socrate.
Professor Aziz El Haddadi, Ph.D. in philosophy, is the president of "L'Association des Amis de la Philosophie" in Fes. He published several books, mainly: "Le portrait d'Averroès dans les écritures arabe et européenne", "La République des génies", "L'homme dans l'hospitalité de l'être" and "La philosophie et la folie de la vision". The "Socrate" Prize is given each year to the most prestigious literary and philosophical writings by the International Centre for Philosophy (Cambridge University – Great Britain).
