With my students, we studied both his path and the philosophical dimension of his approach. The body, the mind, the soul, the world, and others as a lived experience. Kadour Ziani is a sage: he has looked within himself to better see the world — and himself. He is the living mark of the union between noble speech and noble action.”Philippe Chiron, Teacher of Literature, History and Philosophy, Lycée Vincent de Paul, Avignon Read more
