Book Synopsis De la philosophie et des philosophes en Afrique noire by : Mamoussé Diagne
Download or read book De la philosophie et des philosophes en Afrique noire written by Mamoussé Diagne and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2006 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre propose une sorte de " refondation ". En le lisant, on a l'impression que l'auteur dit que nous, Africains d'aujourd'hui, qui répugnons désormais aux interrogations sur la valeur de nos modes anciens de pensée, cherchons à nous installer dans le mode de pensée de l'Autre. Mieux encore, selon l'auteur, nous privilégions d'instinct les questions de méthode plutôt que les questions de fond : " [...] le problème n'est plus [...] : existe-t-il ou non une philosophie africaine - au sens d'une philosophie traditionnelle ? mais : quelle tâche ou ensemble de tâches, identifiables selon des critères à définir, se propose ici et maintenant, quelqu'un qui entreprend de philosopher dans et sur les sociétés africaines à travers leur expression multiforme ? " Mamoussé Diagne essaie de nous faire sentir une réalité qui demeure, au sens strict du terme, impensée. Ce qu'il propose, c'est d'abord d'apprendre à discerner les chances non réalisées qui sommeillent dans les replis de l'oralité, à savoir " le rapport entre dramatisation et philosophie " et d'oser une sorte d'exode de la pensée devant cet " obstacle " qu'est la dramatisation. C'est peut-être là le vrai mérite de ce livre. Si je l'ai bien lu, j'ai l'impression qu'il veut nous inviter à préférer le questionnement véritable, l'interrogation philosophique au pugilat, il veut nous inviter à dépasser ce qui nous fait le plus de mal aujourd'hui, à nous Africains. Il veut nous aider à sortir de ce que le journaliste franco-américain Stephen Smith, à la suite de Stanislas Adotévi, appelle dans son livre " Négrologie " pour que notre continent apprenne à penser, c'est-à-dire à ne jamais se satisfaire de ses traditions et soit capable d'en inventer d'autres et de nouvelles plus porteuses. Bonaventure Mvé-Ondo, docteur en philosophie, vice-recteur de l'OIF.
Book Synopsis The Ink of the Scholars by : Bachir Diagne
Download or read book The Ink of the Scholars written by Bachir Diagne and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2016-12-29 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the issues discussed today by African philosophers? Four important topics are identified here as important objects of philosophical reflection on the African continent. One is the question of ontology in relation to African religions and aesthetics. Another is the question of time and, in particular, of prospective thinking and development. A third issue is the task of reconstructing the intellectual history of the continent through the examination of the question of orality but also by taking into account the often neglected tradition of written erudition in Islamic centres of learning. Timbuktu is certainly the most important and most famous of such intellectual centres. The fourth question concerns political philosophy: the concept of African socialisms is revisited and the march that led to the adoption of the African Charter of Human and Peoples Rights is examined. All these important issues are also fundamental to understanding the question of African languages and translation.

Book Synopsis Wisdom and Initiation in Gabon by : Bonaventure Mvé Ondo
Download or read book Wisdom and Initiation in Gabon written by Bonaventure Mvé Ondo and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wisdom and Initiation in Gabon: A Philosophical Analysis of Fang Tales, Myths, and Legends is a study of the philosophical significance of Fang mythology and the rituals of Initiation that lead to Wisdom. Bonaventure Mvé Ondo argues that Fang tales, myths, and legends are components of the foundation of a worldview that sustains and protects a unique, historical Fang identity. For Mvé Ondo, the contemporary challenges to the existence and identity of the Fang require, perhaps more than ever, recognition of the central role of mythology. At an historical moment when Africans are faced with the challenges of westernization, the metaphysics of the Fang, illustrated and preserved by tales, myths, and legends, is a critical element of Fang survival. Mythology is far more than a collection of amusing or awe inspiring stories, they are profoundly important moral lessons for the Fang in their continuing encounters with such contemporary challenges as materialism and, as the “stories” in this book illustrate, the constant struggle to live lives of purpose and meaning. For Mvé Ondo, the critical, central issue for the Fang is to focus on the distinction at the heart of his analysis, i.e., the crucial distinction between “to have” and to “to be.” The lessons transmitted from generation to generation by these marvelous stories are, Mvé Ondo argues, central to living lives that reflect and perpetuate the eternal truths of the Fang experience.

This book was released on 2020-08-24 with total page 841 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phenomenology was one of the twentieth century’s major philosophical movements, and it continues to be a vibrant and widely studied subject today with relevance beyond philosophy in areas such as medicine and cognitive sciences. The Routledge Handbook of Phenomenology and Phenomenological Philosophy is an outstanding guide to this important and fascinating topic. Its focus on phenomenology’s historical and systematic dimensions makes it a unique and valuable reference source. Moreover, its innovative approach includes entries that don’t simply reflect the state-of-the-art but in many cases advance it. Comprising seventy-five chapters by a team of international contributors, the Handbook offers unparalleled coverage and discussion of the subject, and is divided into five clear parts: • Phenomenology and the history of philosophy • Issues and concepts in phenomenology • Major figures in phenomenology • Intersections • Phenomenology in the world. Essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy studying phenomenology, The Routledge Handbook of Phenomenology and Phenomenological Philosophy is also suitable for those in related disciplines such as psychology, religion, literature, sociology and anthropology.
Book Synopsis Plotinus and African Concepts of Evil by : Christian Mofor
Download or read book Plotinus and African Concepts of Evil written by Christian Mofor and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the concepts of evil in the world-views of Plotinus and the Nso' people of Cameroon. The author analyzes the theories of the natural structure and social organization of these views of the world. He stresses the importance of comparing Plotinus and African philosophy. The book offers a proper appreciation of fundamental differences, parallels and similarities and seeks to build on shared values and common existential concerns in the world-views of Plotinus and the Nso'. This book highlights the assumption that the world understood in terms of its wider dimensions is not a purposeless conglomerate of phenomena and events that bear no relation to each other, but is rather a structured whole, defined by hierarchy and order.
Book Synopsis Naming Africans by : Oyèrónkẹ́ Oyěwùmí
Download or read book Naming Africans written by Oyèrónkẹ́ Oyěwùmí and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-06-08 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the epistemic value of African names, this edited collection is based on the premise that personal names constitute valuable sources of historical and ethnographic information and help to unveil endogenous forms of knowledge. The chapters assembled here document and analyze personal names and naming practices in a slew of African societies on the geographically vast and ethnically diverse continent, including contributions on the naming practices in Angola, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, and Uganda. The contributors to this anthology are scholars from different African language communities who investigate names and naming practices diachronically. Taken together, their work offers a comparative focus that juxtaposes different African cultures and reveals the historical and epistemic significance of given names.
Book Synopsis Postcolonial Literature and the Impact of Literacy by : Neil ten Kortenaar
Download or read book Postcolonial Literature and the Impact of Literacy written by Neil ten Kortenaar and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-02 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining images of literacy in African and West Indian novels, Neil ten Kortenaar looks at how postcolonial authors have thought about the act of writing itself. Writing arrived in many parts of Africa as part of colonization in the twentieth century, and with it a whole world of book-learning and paper-pushing; of school and bureaucracy; newspapers, textbooks and letters; candles, hurricane lamps and electricity; pens, paper, typewriters and printed type; and orthography developed for formerly oral languages. Writing only penetrated many layers of West Indian society in the same era. The range of writers is wide, and includes Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka and V. S. Naipaul. The chapters rely on close reading of canonical novels, but discuss general themes and trends in African and Caribbean literature. Ten Kortenaar's sensitive and penetrating treatment of these themes makes this an important contribution to the growing field of postcolonial literary studies.

This book was released on 2022-12-07 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mubabinge Bilolo's work is long overdue in English. Brilliantly, he has demonstrated that African philosophy, through his discussion of the cosmos-theologies of Ancient Egypt, is the genesis of most of the fundamental questions regarding the enigma of God and humanity. I cannot praise this work enough as of first importance in the reconstruction of Africa's place in human sciences". (Dr. Molefi Kete Asante, Professor, Temple University; USA).
