Book Synopsis Africanités hégéliennes by : Gilbert Zué-Nguéma
Download or read book Africanités hégéliennes written by Gilbert Zué-Nguéma and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2006-10-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'auteur veut nous montrer que les Africains ont des leçons à tirer des propos de Hegel sur l'Afrique. Malgré leurs outrances et leur ethnocentrisme avoués, les propos de Hegel méritent attention si les Africains veulent que leur histoire ne soit pas une page écrite par d'autres. La philosophie africaine est à la croisée des chemins : à elle de choisir si elle veut produire de nouveaux mythèmes (la "philosophie africaine", héritière d'une tradition différente de celle de l'Occident inaugurée par la "philosophie égyptienne"), ou au contraire "penser l'urgence des temps présents".
Book Synopsis Ka Osi Sọ Onye: African Philosophy in the Postmodern Era by : Jonathan Chimakonam
Download or read book Ka Osi Sọ Onye: African Philosophy in the Postmodern Era written by Jonathan Chimakonam and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection is about composing thought at the level of modernism and decomposing it at the postmodern level where many cocks might crow with African philosophy as a focal point. It has two parts: part one is titled ‘The Journey of Reason in African Philosophy’, and part two is titled ‘African Philosophy and Postmodern Thinking’. There are seven chapters in both parts. Five of the essays are reprinted here as important selections while nine are completely new essays commissioned for this book. As their titles suggest, in part one, African philosophy is unfolded in the manifestation of reason as embedded in modern thought while in part two, it draws the effect of reason as implicated in the postmodern orientation. While part one strikes at what V. Y. Mudimbe calls the “colonising structure” or the Greco-European logo-phallo-euro-centricism in thought, part two bashes the excesses of modernism and partly valorises postmodernism. In some chapters, modernism is presented as an intellectual version of communalism characterised by the cliché: ‘our people say’. Our thinking is that the voice of reason is not the voice of the people but the voice of an individual. The idea of this book is to open new vistas for the discipline of African philosophy. African philosophy is thus presented as a disagreement discourse. Without rivalry of thoughts, Africa will settle for far less. This gives postmodernism an important place, perhaps deservedly more important than history of philosophy allocates to it. It is that philosophical moment that says ‘philosophers must cease speaking like gods in their hegemonic cultural shrines and begin to converse across borders with one another’. In this conversation, the goal for African philosophers must not be to find final answers but to sustain the conversation which alone can extend human reason to its furthermost reaches.
Book Synopsis Africa’s Quest for a Philosophy of Decolonization by : Messay Kebede
Download or read book Africa’s Quest for a Philosophy of Decolonization written by Messay Kebede and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discovers freedom in the colonial idea of African primitiveness. As human transcendence, freedom escapes the drawbacks of otherness, as defended by ethnophilosophy, while exposing the idiosyncratic inspiration of Eurocentric universalism. Decolonization calls for the reconnection with freedom, that is, with myth-making understood as the inaugural act of cultural pluralism. The cultural condition of modernization emerges when the return to the past deploys the future.

Book Synopsis African Thought in Comparative Perspective by : Ali A. Mazrui
Download or read book African Thought in Comparative Perspective written by Ali A. Mazrui and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Thought in Comparative Perspective showcases how adept Ali Mazrui, the most prolific writer on Africa today, is at using complex conceptual apparatuses to categorize and synthesize Africa’s political and social thought. This book, thus, offers an original interpretation of the knowledge that has been accumulated over the years, and which is of timeless relevance. It covers such themes as the legacy of the African liberation movements, the convergence and divergence of African, Islamic and Western thought, nationalist ideologies in Africa, the role of religion in African politics, and the impact of Ancient Greek philosophy on contemporary Africa.
Book Synopsis African Philosophy and the Epistemic Marginalization of Women by : Jonathan Chimakonam
Download or read book African Philosophy and the Epistemic Marginalization of Women written by Jonathan Chimakonam and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-20 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the underexplored notion of epistemic marginalization of women in the African intellectual place. Women's issues are still very much neglected by governments, corporate bodies and academics in sub-Saharan Africa. The entrenched traditional world-views which privilege men over women make it difficult for the modern day challenges posed by the neglect of the feminine epistemic perspective, to become obvious. Contributors address these issues from both theoretical and practical perspectives, demonstrating what philosophy could do to ameliorate the epistemic marginalization of women, as well as ways in which African philosphy exacerbates this marginalization. Philosophy is supposed to teach us how to lead the good life in all its ramifications; why is it failing in this duty in Africa where the issue of women’s epistemic vision is concerned? The chapters raise feminist agitations to a new level; beginning from the regular campaigns for various women’s rights and reaching a climax in an epistemic struggle in which the knowledge-controlling power to create, acquire, evaluate, regulate and disseminate is proposed as the last frontier of feminism.

Book Synopsis The African Other by : Taylor & Francis Group
Download or read book The African Other written by Taylor & Francis Group and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-30 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a much-needed philosophical response to the recurrent postcolonial call to uproot the prevalent workings of the colonial regime, with a close focus on the African context. The work addresses a range of questions concerning the othering of Africans in the postcolonial context, specifically by focusing on the philosophical analysis of problems of justice, the effect of injustice on the formation of the self, and strategies of resistance against the injustice of othering. Questions raised in this collection include: who or what is "the other"? Who is the "African other"? In what ways are Africans othered? What is the effect of unjust conditions on the formation of the self? In what sense is othering an injustice? How can justice concern itself with the problem of othering? What are the strategies to resist the injustice of othering? Can one ever do justice to the experience of the subaltern other in abstract terms of philosophical analysis? In considering these questions, this book will be of interest to all those studying the intersectional ways in which colonial injustice is manifested in the postcolony, as well as those seeking greater philosophical reflection on postcolonial justice. This book was originally published as a special issue of Angelaki.

Book Synopsis Handbook of African Philosophy of Difference by : Elvis Imafidon
Download or read book Handbook of African Philosophy of Difference written by Elvis Imafidon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2020-01-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook explores essential philosophical questions about the experience of difference and the other in African societies. The contributions go beyond a mere discussion of empirical manifestations. They offer a critical analysis of, among other things, the very nature and essence of difference that makes such manifestations possible. Coverage examines the philosophical basis for the African contexts of gender differences, bodily differences and disability; racial, religious, and cultural differences; xenophobia and xenophilia; and issues of the otherings of non-human beings from human beings. These insightful analyses detail the ontological, epistemological, and moral foundations of difference and alterity in African societies, both traditional and modern. Readers will gain a deeper understanding into such questions as: What value is placed on the other in African societies? What is the ethics and burden of care for those considered different in African societies? What role does language play in the othering of the other in African societies? What is the nature and challenges of the alleged White-Black difference. This exploration offers a vital contribution to the philosophy of difference. It not only shows the importance of place in such theorization. It also contributes significantly to African philosophical discourse. This handbook will interest both undergraduate, postgraduate students, and researchers in such fields as African studies/philosophy, identity, racism and alterity studies in sociology, feminism and LGBT studies.
