Book excerpt: Hountondji contends that ideological manifestations of this view that stress the uniqueness of the African experience are protonationalist reactions against colonialism conducted, paradoxically, in the terms of colonialist discourse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this seminal exploration of the nature and future of African philosophy, Paulin J. Hountondji attacks a myth popularized by ethnophilosophers such as Placide Temples and Alexis Kagame that there is an indigenous, collective African philosophy, separate and distinct from the Western philosophical tradition. Hountondji contends that ideological manifestations of this view that stress the uniqueness of the African experience are protonationalist reactions against colonialism conducted, paradoxically, in the terms of colonialist discourse.

Download or read book Africa s Quest for a Philosophy of Decolonization written by Messay Kebede and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2004 with total page 288 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.

Download or read book Contemporary African Social and Political Philosophy written by Albert Kasanda and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores what constitutes contemporary African social and political philosophy with regard to its meaning, aims, sources, and relevance for today’s Africa. Kasanda denounces conventional approaches considering these either as a subcategory of general philosophy or as the ideological attempts of individual African leaders and professional philosophers, such as Nkrumah, Nyerere, Senghor, Fanon, Hountondji and Towa. On the contrary, Kasanda defines contemporary African social and political philosophy as an inclusive reflection of African communities with regard to power and equitable modes of social and political organization in order to promote human excellence for everyone. This perspective also includes the criticism of social and political concepts in use within African communities. The author postulates that contemporary African social and political philosophy relies on the legacy of precolonial African societies, as well as on the contribution of the diaspora throughout the world. Contemporary African social and political philosophy is rooted in the daily lives of African people, and it expresses itself through multiple modalities including, for example, art, religion, literature, music and the policy of urbanization of African cities. This book sheds new light on debates concerning topics such as ethnophilosophy, negritude, pan-Africanism, democracy, African civil society, African cultures, and globalization. It aims to ward off the lethargy that strikes African social and political philosophy, taking a renewed and critical approach.

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.
