Dans cet article, je plaide en faveur d'une philosophie interculturelle de la religion dans une perspective africaine. Je me concentre sur les fondements  philosophiques des diverses pratiques et croyances religieuses significatives qui donnent lieu aux concepts de Dieu, de la mort et du problème du mal.  Une étude philosophique des religions traditionnelles africaines, basée sur des découvertes anthropologiques à travers les orientations culturelles  africaines, nous donne un bon point de départ pour comprendre les visions du monde et les expériences religieuses africaines. Elle révèle également que  les diverses religions du monde peuvent toutes être considérées comme offrant des perspectives différentes sur la même réalité. Plus précisément,  je soutiens que les conceptions africaines traditionnelles de Dieu, de la mort et du problème du mal pourraient apporter des contributions significatives  aux discours mondiaux sur la philosophie de la religion. Premièrement, j'articule les points de convergence et de divergence entre les religions  traditionnelles africaines et les preuves de l'existence de Dieu apportées par Saint Aquin; deuxièmement, je m'interroge sur le phénomène de la mort et  le sens de la vie. Et troisièmement, j'aborde le problème du mal et tente de trouver une solution africaine au dilemme épicurien. 
在这篇文章中,我从非洲的角度倡导一种跨文化的宗教哲学。我专注于哲学基础的各种习俗和宗教信仰上帝的概念、产生的巨大的死亡和罪恶的问题。对非洲传统宗教的哲学研究中,基于人类学的发现穿越非洲文化方向,给我们提供了一个很好的起点,了解非洲的世界观和宗教经验。它还表明,世界上不同的宗教都可以被认为对同一现实提供了不同的观点。更具体地说,我认为非洲关于上帝、死亡和邪恶问题的传统观念可以对世界宗教哲学的讨论作出重大贡献。首先,我阐明了非洲传统宗教与圣阿奎那提供的上帝存在的证据之间的共同点和分歧;其次,我想知道死亡的现象和生命的意义。第三,我处理邪恶的问题,试图找到一个非洲的解决办法来解决享乐主义的困境。

Scientism and the evolution of philosophies and ideologies of structural racism against Africans 科学主义和针对非洲人的结构性种族主义的哲学和意识形态的演变
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-11-26 DOI: 10.4314/ft.v11i3.4

One of the fundamental fallacies of racism is the confusion between biological accidents such as: body, colour, environment, size, shape, and melanin with metaphysical essences like; soul, mind, and intellect. Personness for instance is an essential category that does not depend on the above accidental attributes. Since time immemorial, racism has been reinforced by deeply entrenched social structures. These structures are the offspring of both overt and covert racism. Structural racism is epitomised by ideologies that have been well disguised under facades of science. These ideologies include: Eugenics, Social Darwinism, Modernisation theory and Neo-liberalism. This paper critically analyses the religious, political, psychoanalytic, historical and economic construction of structural and institutional racism that reinforces honorary whiteness in the African social milieu. The paper argues that the purpose of racism is constructing Black and Brown people as entities in dire need of White Saviourism and White Paternalism. This consequently culminates into imperialism, neo-colonialism, subjugation and exploitation. The paper further contends that racism is crystalised through mental colonialism which rides on socially constructed racial binaries, dichotomies and hierarchies such as: White (righteous) and Black (evil), North (top) and South (bottom), West (Sun-rise) and (Sun-set), Aryan and Honorary Aryan, White and Honorary White. 
种族主义的一个基本谬论是混淆了生物偶然性,如身体、颜色、环境、大小、形状和黑色素,以及形而上的本质,如;灵魂,思想和智力。例如,人格是一个不依赖于上述偶然属性的基本类别。自古以来,根深蒂固的社会结构就加强了种族主义。这些结构是显性和隐性种族主义的产物。结构性种族主义是在科学外表下伪装得很好的意识形态的缩影。这些意识形态包括:优生学、社会达尔文主义、现代化理论和新自由主义。本文批判性地分析了在非洲社会环境中强化荣誉白人的结构性和制度性种族主义的宗教、政治、精神分析、历史和经济建构。本文认为,种族主义的目的是将黑人和棕色人种塑造成迫切需要白人救世主主义和白人家长主义的实体。这最终导致了帝国主义、新殖民主义、征服和剥削。论文进一步认为,种族主义是通过精神殖民主义具体化的,这种殖民主义依赖于社会建构的种族二元,二分法和等级制度,如:白人(正义)和黑人(邪恶),北方(上)和南方(下),西方(日出)和(日落),雅利安人和荣誉雅利安人,白人和荣誉白人。

A critique of Fela Anikulapo’s “Blackism” as a failed instance of the valorisation of blackness 对Fela Anikulapo的“黑人主义”的批评是黑人价值增值的一个失败的例子
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-11-26 DOI: 10.4314/ft.v11i3.7
O. C. Macaulay-Adeyelure
The aim of this essay is to show that instances of valorising blackness have turned out to be harmful to African peoples. Whereas there have been several movements such as Black Power Movement, Black Consciousness Movement as well as individuals such as Steve Biko, Aime Cesaire, Leopold Sedar Senghor, William DuBois, Edward Blyden, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, it is the case that none of these minds made the conscious effort to interrogate the literal and symbolic use of black for Africans. Consequently, this research limits its scope to Fela’s valorisation of blackness as enshrined in his blackism. Using the method of critical analysis, it argues that Fela’s “Blackism” takes the categorical and symbolic implications of blackness to an uncritical assimilation. The present study submits that until the ideological underpinning of the categorical and symbolic uses of blackness for Africans is engaged, all valorisation attempts will continue to yield meagre outputs. The first task is therefore to disclose the Eurocentric campaigns that mitigated the worth of the original or traditional people of Africa, south of the Sahara as well as the arrays of rejoinders which led to the valorisation of blackness. Afterward, Fela’s version of valorisation as encapsulated within the fold of his blackism will be disinterred. The rest of the paper shows not only that the valorisation agenda was a failed project but also that Fela’s “Blackism” is one of these failed projects.
这篇文章的目的是表明,对黑人的估价对非洲人民是有害的。尽管有一些运动,如黑人权力运动,黑人意识运动以及像Steve Biko, Aime Cesaire, Leopold Sedar Senghor, William DuBois, Edward Blyden, Fela Anikulapo Kuti这样的个人,但这些人都没有有意识地去质疑黑人对非洲人的字面和象征意义。因此,本研究将其范围限制在Fela在他的黑人主义中对黑人的价值增值。运用批判分析的方法,认为费拉的“黑人主义”将黑人的绝对和象征意义带入了一种非批判的同化。本研究认为,在非洲人对黑人的绝对和象征性使用的意识形态基础得到确定之前,所有的估价尝试将继续产生微薄的产出。因此,第一个任务是揭露以欧洲为中心的运动,这些运动削弱了撒哈拉以南非洲原始或传统人民的价值,以及导致黑人价值增值的一系列反驳。之后,Fela的价值增值版本将被挖掘出来,因为它被封装在他的黑人主义的褶皱中。论文的其余部分不仅表明,估值议程是一个失败的项目,而且Fela的“黑人主义”也是这些失败的项目之一。

Racial inequality and the imperative critique of the South African negotiated settlement 种族不平等和对南非谈判解决的必要批评
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-11-26 DOI: 10.4314/ft.v11i3.8
Gugu Ndlazi
The former South African first black President’s vision aimed to unite and fight racial tensions and inequalities by introducing and envisioning a South Africa for all who live in it. However, twenty-five years later, the post-apartheid South Africa is riddled with cancerous ills such as racial inequality, racism, and failure to bridge the gap between the poor and the rich. This paper will attest to the notion that the 1994 rainbow nation ideology is dead because racial inequality is still a norm, and that the implication of the negotiated settlement has preserved racial inequality and its core racist foundations. The ideology of the “rainbow nation” has failed to erode racial inequality in South Africa. It has failed to close the gap between the poor and the rich and most importantly, the “rainbow nation” ideology has shown that it was a one-sided concord dependent on whose privilege matters most and not a collective view to addressing racial inequality. Black South Africans have, therefore, continued to bear the brunt of poverty, unemployment and inequality compared to white South fricans. I argue that the “rainbow nation” has failed to address racial inequality and build the imperative ideology of sameness and togetherness. I will employ a standard method of applied analytical philosophy to perform this task, which is grounded in critical conceptual analysis and systematic rational argumentation.
这位前南非第一位黑人总统的愿景旨在通过介绍和设想一个所有生活在南非的人的南非来团结和对抗种族紧张关系和不平等现象。然而,25年后,后种族隔离时代的南非充斥着种族不平等、种族主义以及未能弥合贫富差距等恶性疾病。本文将证明1994年彩虹国的意识形态已经死亡,因为种族不平等仍然是一种常态,谈判解决的含义保留了种族不平等及其核心的种族主义基础。“彩虹之国”的意识形态未能消除南非的种族不平等。它未能缩小贫富差距,最重要的是,“彩虹之国”的意识形态表明,它是一种片面的和谐,取决于谁的特权最重要,而不是解决种族不平等问题的集体观点。因此,与南非白人相比,南非黑人继续首当其冲地遭受贫穷、失业和不平等。我认为,这个“彩虹之国”没能解决种族不平等问题,也没能建立一致和团结的必要意识形态。我将采用应用分析哲学的标准方法来完成这项任务,该方法以批判性概念分析和系统理性论证为基础。

Honorary whiteness: The psychology of racial cognitive illusion 荣誉白:种族认知错觉的心理学
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-11-26 DOI: 10.4314/ft.v11i3.6
Aloysius Uchechukwu Onah
Experiences whether personal or collective, sometimes evoke a psychological satisfaction of being superior to others. This could be due to inappropriate perception or some prejudice. When misperception takes a systematic and permanent form, it becomes an illusion. Several scientific works imply possible racial cognitive illusions. In this work, I treat honorary whiteness as a diminutive way of referring to some categories of human beings. Honorary whiteness is an ideology based on the belief of being superior to others on the basis of colour. It is the practice of acting white or like European in order to gain some benefits or for some interests. This attitude pervades the political, economic, legal and social life of human beings. Hence, this research initiates the urgency to revisit the discourse on racial superiority and how it informs some cognitive misrepresentations of human biological givens. I examine the above theme with the aim of explaining honorary whiteness, racial cognitive illusion and finally, explore the psychological perspectives in view of proffering innovative solutions on racial cognitive illusion.
无论是个人的还是集体的经历,有时都会唤起一种优于他人的心理满足感。这可能是由于不适当的看法或一些偏见。当误解以系统和永久的形式出现时,它就变成了一种错觉。一些科学研究暗示可能存在种族认知错觉。在这个作品中,我把荣誉白作为一种对某些类别的人的蔑称。荣誉白是一种基于肤色之上的优越感的意识形态。它是为了获得一些利益或利益而表现得像白人或像欧洲人的做法。这种态度遍及人类的政治、经济、法律和社会生活。因此,这项研究引发了重新审视种族优越感话语的紧迫性,以及它如何告知一些对人类生物学赋予的认知误解。我对上述主题进行了研究,旨在解释荣誉白人,种族认知错觉,最后探索心理学视角,以期为种族认知错觉提供创新的解决方案。

Lucius T. Outlaw, Jr. on why racism makes no sense 小卢修斯·t·奥特劳谈为什么种族主义毫无意义
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-11-26 DOI: 10.4314/ft.v11i3.9
Hazel T. Biana, J. J. Joaquin
In this interview with W. Alton Jones Professor of Philosophy at Vanderbilt University, Lucius T. Outlaw, Jr, we discuss the metaphysical and ethical questions of grouping and classifying people in terms of race and ethnicity. Outlaw is the author of [On Race and Philosophy] and one of the recognised pioneers of Africana Philosophy. Outlaw talks about growing up in racial segregation in Starkville, Mississippi, the Black Power movement, the notion of the Black intellectual, scholarship and teaching, and philosophizing about race. We discuss the ambiguity of the concept of philosophy of race and explore the concepts of raciality, categories, human sociality, evolution, and oppression. With his philosophical, political, and sociological influences, Outlaw asserts that racism makes no sense at all because the diversity of our species is one of our greatest assets; and in terms of survival, we are all of the same species though certain group-shared differences do matter.
在对范德比尔特大学的W. Alton Jones哲学教授Lucius T. Outlaw的采访中,我们讨论了根据种族和民族对人进行分组和分类的形而上学和伦理问题。Outlaw是《论种族与哲学》一书的作者,也是公认的非洲哲学先驱之一。Outlaw谈到了他在密西西比州斯塔克维尔种族隔离时期的成长经历,黑人权力运动,黑人知识分子的概念,学术和教学,以及关于种族的哲学思考。我们讨论了种族哲学概念的模糊性,并探讨了种族、类别、人类社会性、进化和压迫的概念。在他哲学、政治和社会学的影响下,Outlaw断言种族主义根本没有意义,因为我们物种的多样性是我们最大的资产之一;就生存而言,我们都是同一物种,尽管某些群体共有的差异确实很重要。

Honorary whiteness as an ideological tool sustaining a hierarchical racial order and land expropriation in South Africa 荣誉白人作为一种意识形态工具,在南非维持种族等级秩序和土地征用
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-11-26 DOI: 10.4314/ft.v11i3.5
B. Sibango
As a country with a history of settler-colonialism, the land question in South Africa remains one of the critical issues of redress that is highly contested. Furthermore, opinions on the land question tend to be divided along racial lines. This paper uses white ignorance as a theoretical framework to explain these polarised views on the land question in South Africa post-1994. The paper also uses the concept of honorary whiteness/brownness to explain how differences among ‘people of colour’ serve to sustain a hierarchical racial order in which whites remain the ultimate beneficiaries. While research on white ignorance mainly focuses on the socio-psychological and material benefits of white ignorance for whites, this paper argues that those classified as honorary white or ‘brown’ also benefit, albeit minimally, from endorsing willful white ignorance of past and present racial atrocities.
作为一个有移民殖民主义历史的国家,南非的土地问题仍然是引起高度争议的纠正的关键问题之一。此外,对土地问题的看法往往以种族划分。本文以白人无知为理论框架来解释1994年后南非在土地问题上的这些两极分化观点。这篇论文还使用了荣誉白/棕色的概念来解释“有色人种”之间的差异是如何维持种族等级秩序的,在这种秩序中,白人仍然是最终的受益者。虽然对白人无知的研究主要集中在白人无知的社会心理和物质利益上,但本文认为,那些被归类为荣誉白人或“棕色人种”的人也能从支持白人对过去和现在的种族暴行的故意无知中获益,尽管这一点微乎其微。

While research on white ignorance mainly focuses on the socio-psychological and material benefits of white ignorance for whites, this paper argues that those classified as honorary white or ‘brown’ also benefit, albeit minimally, from endorsing willful white ignorance of past and present racial atrocities.","PeriodicalId":37706,"journal":{"name":"Filosofia Theoretica","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88951198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Are the communications of African flight attendants a form of slurred speech? 非洲空乘人员的交流是一种含糊不清的语言吗?

Onboard international flights, you may have witnessed the pre-takeoff information/in-flight safety speech by the cabin crew. It is not out of place that they tend to be European in their mode of speaking. However, when on a local flight, the Europeanness of speech still comes out loud. We want to understand why such Europeanised intonation should be and the audience it is meant to serve. Our  research leads us to the conclusion that this insensitivity of local airline operators stems from the desire to enjoy some patronage even if their actions inferiorise the community who are the major patronisers of their services. We will also explain why the Europeanisation of speech could lead to safety hazards. This work is inspired by the personal experiences of the researchers and of a few others.
在国际航班上,您可能已经目睹了机组人员的起飞前信息/飞行安全演讲。他们说话的方式倾向于欧洲人,这并不奇怪。然而,在当地的航班上,欧洲口音仍然很明显。我们想要理解为什么这种欧洲化的语调应该是这样的,以及它的受众是什么。我们的研究让我们得出这样的结论:本地航空公司经营者的这种不敏感源于他们渴望获得一些赞助,即使他们的行为使他们服务的主要赞助人——社区处于下等地位。我们也会解释为什么语言的欧洲化会导致安全隐患。这项工作的灵感来自于研究人员和其他一些人的个人经历。
