Bog beskrivelse
In Africa, the twenty-first century began with new challenges surrounding and regarding philosophicaldiscourses. Questions of economic and political liberation, the displacement of populations and the processof urbanization present ongoing challenges, linked to problems such as endemic diseases and famine, therestructure of the traditional family, gender and the position of women, the transmission of culture frompast to future generations. Changes in labor relations resulting from introduction of financial speculation,cutting edge technologies, and differential access to digital and older cultural forms have placed realdemands on Africans and Africanists working in philosophy.This volume explores the ways in which African philosophies express “transitional acts,” those acts by whichthought interacts with history as it is being made and by which it assures its own renewal in proposingprovisional solutions to historical problems. A transitional act combines both the audacity of confrontationand the novelty of creation, prudence in the face of risks and anticipation in the face of the unexpected.Influential and emerging thinkers from both sides of the Atlantic consider this dual activity in the realm ofcriticism and imagination, public spaces in Africa, and the relationship between historical politics andhistorical poetics.
