Muntu in Crisis
How could Muntu, that is the human being in the African condition, initiate a practice of philosophy that assumes and testifies to the singularity of the African situation today and assert himself as subject and object of his parole? Under which conditions can his practice of philosophy be a praxis of liberation? These are the fundamental and existential questions at the heart of 'Muntu In Crisis.'
Christianity Without Fetishes
Christianity without Fetishes is a penetrating analysis of the inculturation of Christianity in Africa. Eboussi Boulaga rejects the Christianity imposed upon and adopted by the African churches as a fetish manufactured in the West, but then goes on to mount a constructive and comprehensive African alternative.
Fabien Eboussi Boulaga, la philosophie du Muntu
Philosophe et chercheur rigoureux dans divers domaines des sciences sociales, Fabien Eboussi Boulaga s'est imposé dès ses premiers travaux comme un maître à penser. Formé dans le moule du classicisme gréco-latin, il a su s'en servir et s'en émanciper pour élaborer une pensée théorique autonome, qui sait également être pratique et politique. Celle-ci énonce une critique radicale du mimétisme épistémologique qui encombre les humanités et les sciences sociales sur l'Afrique, et jette les hases d'une réflexion sur soi et sur l'autre. Soucieux d'éviter que sa pensée soit victime du syndrome de l'inutilité ou utilisée comme caution morale à des pratiques immorales, il cultiv...
Fabien Eboussi Boulaga, la philosophie du Muntu
Philosophe et chercheur rigoureux dans divers domaines des sciences sociales, Fabien Eboussi Boulaga s'est imposé dès ses premiers travaux comme un maître à penser. Sa pensée énonce une critique radicale du mimétisme épistémologique qui encombre les humanités et les sciences sociales sur l'Afrique. Soucieux d'éviter que sa pensée soit victime du syndrome de l'inutilité ou utilisés comme caution morale à des pratiques immorales, il cultive activement la discrétion, préférant la modestie de l'ascèse aux fastes de la volupté. Son oeuvre gravite autour de la problématique du Muntu, l'homme africain ; elle s'articule sur une herméneutique du sujet et une ontologie de la vérité. Le Muntu n'est pas une essence mais une histoire, une trajectoire, un horizon de possibilités. Eboussi est un spectateur engagé, c'est-à-dire un citoyen libre et raisonnable, un aiguiseur de consciences. Sa pensée se déroule comme un subtil contrepoint qui réconcilie la rigueur méthodologique des classiques gréco-latins et la verve critique des terroirs d'Afrique à partir desquels elle s'énonce.
Nihilism and Negritude
Describes and analyzes the present "black condition" in the African context. Recreates the imaginaries of present-day Africa, from the picturesque absurdity of daily life to the political economics of marriage, from the philosophy of menus and table manners to the uses of the body
The Oxford Encyclopedia of African Thought
From St. Augustine and early Ethiopian philosophers to the anti-colonialist movements of Pan-Africanism and Negritude, this encyclopedia offers a comprehensive view of African thought, covering the intellectual tradition both on the continent in its entirety and throughout the African Diaspora in the Americas and in Europe. The term "African thought" has been interpreted in the broadest sense to embrace all those forms of discourse - philosophy, political thought, religion, literature, important social movements - that contribute to the formulation of a distinctive vision of the world determined by or derived from the African experience. The Encyclopedia is a large-scale work of 350 entries covering major topics involved in the development of African Thought including historical figures and important social movements, producing a collection that is an essential resource for teaching, an invaluable companion to independent research, and a solid guide for further study.
The Christianity Reader
Christianity is the world’s most populous religion, with some two billion adherents. As a world religion, Christianity has flourished because it is capable of taking on new forms in new contexts. To understand both the religion’s history and its present state, Mary Gerhart and Fabian Udoh gather original texts—from early Christian writings to contemporary documents on church-related issues—in The Christianity Reader. The most comprehensive anthology of Christian texts ever in English, this is a landmark sourcebook for the study of Christianity’s historical diversity. With newly edited, annotated, and translated primary texts, along with supplemental analytical essays, the volume al...
The Oxford Handbook of Africa and Economics: Context and concepts
For a long time, economic research on Africa was not seen as a profitable venture intellectually or professionally-few researchers in top-ranked institutions around the world chose to become experts in the field. This was understandable: the reputation of Africa-centered economic research was not enhanced by the well-known limitations of economic data across the continent. Moreover, development economics itself was not always fashionable, and the broader discipline of economics has had its ups and downs, and has been undergoing a major identity crisis because it failed to predict the Great Recession. Times have changed: many leading researchers-including a few Nobel laureates-have taken the ...
