Description
This stamp pays tribute to Nicolaus Copernicus and the scientific revolution that he embodies, by highlighting the questioning of established knowledge and the advent of a modern vision of the universe. The illustration combines astronomical symbols, the Earth and the Sun, to evoke heliocentrism and the progress of scientific thought based on observation and reason. This iconographic choice underlines the importance of science as a driver of knowledge and intellectual emancipation. In the Tunisian context, this stamp reflects a desire to place the country in the universality of scientific knowledge, by promoting education, research and intellectual openness as pillars of development, modernity and dialogue between civilizations.
