Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Political Philosophy has come to dismiss the bogey myth of non-existence of the great and noble ideas of African philosophy, African theology and African history. It has rather come to justify the reality and existence of African philosophy espoused in the early 1970s by people like Professor Innocent Onyewuenyi who propounded the notion of Egyptian-African origin of Greek philosophy. This has also added to its academic merit and market potential. It is indeed a necessary addition to the growing volumes of brilliant books by a number of indigenous African scholars and writers.

Download or read book Theory of Philosophical Consciencism written by Dompere, Kofi Kissi and published by Adonis and Abbey Publishers. This book was released on 2017-09-24 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Theory of Philosophical Consciencism, Professor Dompere establishes how Nkrumah used the theory of categorical conversion housing the necessary conditions of transformation to design strategies for creating the sufficient conditions for socio-political transformations. The theory of Philosophical Consciencism is about the institutionally destruction-creation process for socio-political transformation. The theory shows the scientific contributions of Nkrumah's thinking to the solution of the transformation problem in science and its application to social systemicity, where Nkrumah's analytical weapons were drawn from African conceptual system. The theory is developed as logico-mathematical foundations that guide the internal management of the command-control decision-choice systems for creative destruction of socio-political varieties in transformations through the development of qualitative mathematics making possible the construct of qualitative equations of motion for connecting varieties in qualitative transfers. The qualitative equations of motion through the Philosophical Consciencism constitute the sufficient conditions for transformations. The theory links rationality, intentionality, experiential information structure, defective-deceptive information structures in the control-dynamic games of power and dominance by the duals and poles under the principle of opposites with relational continua and unity relative to decision-choice systems that induce negation-negation transformations, where paths are established by the history of success-failure outcomes in the socially control-dynamic zero-sum games between the duals in any duality and between the poles of any actual-potential polarity. The main premise of the monograph is that there exists a set of sufficient conditions in support of the necessary conditions for internal transformation of socio-natural varieties. The theory is useful in understanding developmental processes and multi-polar-power zero-sum games for global dominance. The necessary conditions constitute the natural necessity that constrains cognitive freedom. The sufficient conditions constitute cognitive freedom that must overcome the necessity in socio-natural systems dynamics. Had this conceptual system been familiar to African leaders, the African transformation from colonialism to complete emancipation, rather than neocolonialism, would have been increasingly successful. This holds for those seeking triumph over injustices, oppression, imperialism and social change in all systems.

Book excerpt: For most of its history, the African continent has witnessed momentous political change, remarkable philosophical innovation, and the complex cross-fertilization of ideologies and belief systems. This definitive study surveys the concepts, values, and historical upheavals that have shaped African political systems from the ancient period to the postcolonial era and beyond. Beginning with the emergence of indigenous political institutions, it traces the most important developments in African history, including the Africanization of Islam, liberal democratic movements, socialism, Pan-Africanism, and Africanist-Populist resistance to the neoliberal world order. The result is an invaluable resource on a region too often ignored in the history of political thought.

Download or read book Towards an African Political Philosophy of Needs written by Motsamai Molefe and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-16 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the domains of moral philosophy, political philosophy, and political theory within African philosophy. At the heart of the volume is a call to imagine African political philosophy as embodying a needs-based political vision. While discourses in African political philosophy have fixated on the normative framework of human rights law to articulate demands for social and global justice, this book charts a new frontier in African political thought by turning from ‘rights’ to ‘needs.’ The authors aim to re-orient discourses in African philosophy beyond the impasse of rights-based confrontations to shift the conversation toward needs as a cornerstone of African political theory.

Download or read book Capitalism and Freedom in African Political Philosophy written by Grivas Muchineripi Kayange and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates ‘capitalism and freedom’—the guiding forces of many political systems—in African philosophy. It builds on classical and neoliberal capitalism rooted in private property and freedom, and argues for the presence of these elements in the traditional and modern African political systems. The author argues that while these elements are partly imported from Western capitalists, they are equally traceable in African traditional political systems. Kayange argues that African politics is marred by a conflict between embracing capitalism and freedom (individualism), on the one hand, and socialism founded on African communitarianism and communist ideas, on the other. This conflict has affected policy development and implementation, and has significantly contributed towards the socio-economic and ethical crises that are recurrent in most of the African countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public deliberation, highly valued by many African societies, becomes the cornerstone of a new system of African political philosophy in this brilliant, highly original study. In Deliberative Agency, philosopher Uchenna Okeja offers a way to construct a new political center by building it around the ubiquitous African practice of public deliberation, a widely accepted means to resolve legal matters, reconcile feuding groups, and reestablish harmony. In cities, hometown associations and voluntary organizations carry out the task of fostering deliberation among African groups for different reasons. In some instances, the deliberation aims to settle disputes. In others, the aim is to decide the best action to take to address unfortunate incidents such as death. Through a measured, comparative analysis, Deliberative Agency argues that the best way to reimagine and harness the idea of public deliberation, based on current experiences in Africa, is to see it as performance of agency. Building a new political center around the practice places agency at the core of a new political life in Africa.

Download or read book Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah written by Kwasi Boqadi and published by . This book was released on 2023-12-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kwasi is an ardent student of Kwame Nkrumahs numerous works, especially Consciencism, which he found challenging, but quite profound. Kwasi Boadi, the author was particularly struck by the doctrine called philosophical consciencism, the ontology of which was described as being materialist but not necessarily atheistic. Kwasi also took an avid interest in the works of Cheikh Anta Diop, works that laid the foundations for what emerged as the Nile Valley School of Afrocentric Thought in the reconstruction of African history. And then there was Kwasi Wiredu, whose reference to Funtum-Denkyem as a usable past left a strong imprint on him. It was these academic strands that collectively shaped the intellectual grounding in articulating the possibility of an alternative political system for Africa, one grounded in the philosophy and ideology implicit in both philosophical consciencism and Funtum-Denkyem. An alternative political system based on the pre-colonial African historical experience might seem like an implausible, if not impossible, vision. But the abject failure of the Western liberal nation-state in Africa leaves us with no other choice. Osagyefo. as the author will be explaining in subsequent letters, was a call essentially an urgent plea to reconsider embracing Funtum-Denkyem, reconcile it with philosophical consciencism, and let the spirit step back on the stage of history one more time to complete the African Revolution. But reconciling philosophical consciencism with Funtum-Denkyem implies decoupling philosophical consciencism from the ideology of scientific socialism under the guidance of a one-party socialist state, which was insisted as conditionality for the African Revolution. Instead, the African Revolution must culminate in the restitution of the African socio-political culture of consensual decision-making as the cultural basis for a politically united Africa. It means asking to rethink commitments to the concepts of socialism and political party altogether to reflect contemporary times. Even though socialism and its one-party statism as we've known it may not be dead - after all, China still goes strong even as Cuba and North Korea limp along - their appeal has waned. And yet the vision of the political unification of Africa remains very much alive as a supreme need.
