I discuss in this paper how robotic scientists tend to produce replicas of human bodies that are consistent with their own cultural norms by exploring how gender is embodied in humanoid robots. My focus is specifically on care robots, and their reception in the African context. I argue that since the bodies of the robotic scientists are the reference points according to which they design and manufacture robots, a somaesthetics of robotics can best reveal and challenge how gendered norms are materialised in these machines.
我在本文中讨论了机器人科学家如何通过探索性别如何体现在类人机器人中来倾向于生产与他们自己的文化规范一致的人体复制品。我的重点是护理机器人,以及它们在非洲的受欢迎程度。我认为,由于机器人科学家的身体是他们设计和制造机器人的参考点,机器人的身体美学可以最好地揭示和挑战性别规范是如何在这些机器中具体化的。

African Ethics and Online Communities: An Argument for a Virtual Communitarianism 非洲伦理与网络社区:虚拟社群主义的论证
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2021-12-13 DOI: 10.4314/ft.v10i3.7
Stephen Morgan, B. Okyere-Manu
A virtual community is generally described as a group of people with shared interests, ideas, and goals in a particular digital group or virtual platform. Virtual communities have become ubiquitous in recent times, and almost everyone belongs to one or multiple virtual communities. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, with its associated national lockdowns, has made virtual communities more essential and a necessary part of our daily lives, whether for work and business, educational purposes or keeping in touch with friends and family. Given these facts, how do we ensure that virtual communities become a true community qua community? We address this question by proposing and arguing for a ‘virtual communitarianism’—an online community that integrates essential features of traditional African communitarianism in its outlook and practice. The paper’s position is that virtual communitarianism can make for a strong ethical virtual community where members can demonstrate a strong sense of group solidarity, care and compassion towards each other. The inclusion of these virtues can bring members who often are farapart and help create a stronger community bond. This will ensure that the evolution of virtual communities does not happen without the integration of progressive African communitarian values.
虚拟社区通常被描述为在特定的数字群体或虚拟平台中拥有共同兴趣、想法和目标的一群人。近年来,虚拟社区变得无处不在,几乎每个人都属于一个或多个虚拟社区。2019冠状病毒病大流行的爆发,以及与之相关的国家封锁,使虚拟社区变得更加重要,成为我们日常生活中必不可少的一部分,无论是为了工作和商业、教育目的,还是与朋友和家人保持联系。鉴于这些事实,我们如何确保虚拟社区成为真正的社区?我们提出并主张一种“虚拟社群主义”来解决这个问题,这是一种将传统非洲社群主义的基本特征整合在其观点和实践中的线上社群。本文的立场是,虚拟社群主义可以创造一个强大的道德虚拟社区,在这个社区中,成员可以表现出强烈的群体团结、相互关心和同情。包含这些美德可以使经常相距很远的成员团结起来,并有助于建立更牢固的社区纽带。这将确保虚拟社区的演变不会在没有整合进步的非洲社区主义价值观的情况下发生。

Traditional festivals as a symbol of culture in Africa: The example of the Ovwuvwe festival of the Abraka people 作为非洲文化象征的传统节日:以阿布拉卡人的Ovwuvwe节为例
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2021-11-03 DOI: 10.4314/ft.v10i2.9
B. Izu
Traditional festivals have become a prominent topic of research because of their social-cultural values. The values, and beliefs of a people are demonstrated through festivals. However, thus far, limited research has been conducted on the more profound issue of the possible contribution of festivals as a cultural symbol. This study aims to portray the symbols of the Abraka people’s culture through the Ovwuvwe festival celebration. The Ovwuvwe festival was chosen as the study area, due to its rich and unique cultural heritage, with the main aim of creating an avenue in preserving and displaying the cultural heritage of the Abraka people through the Ovwuvwe festival celebration. Through participation, interviews and critical observation, this paper demonstrates the cultural symbol of the Abraka people through Ovwuvwe.
传统节日因其社会文化价值而成为一个突出的研究课题。一个民族的价值观和信仰是通过节日来体现的。然而,迄今为止,对节日作为一种文化符号可能做出的贡献这一更深刻的问题进行的研究有限。本研究旨在通过Ovwuvwe节日庆典来描绘阿布拉卡人的文化符号。Ovwuvwe节日之所以被选为研究区域,是因为其丰富而独特的文化遗产,主要目的是通过Ovwuvwe节日庆祝活动,创造一条保护和展示阿布拉卡人文化遗产的途径。本文通过参与、访谈和批判性观察等方法,通过Ovwuvwe来展示阿布拉卡人的文化符号。

Toward a personhood-based theory of right action: Investigating the Covid-19 pandemic and religious conspiracy theories in Africa 走向以人格为基础的正确行动理论:调查非洲的Covid-19大流行和宗教阴谋论
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2021-11-03 DOI: 10.4314/ft.v10i2.12
A. E. Chimakonam
Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, there has been an increase in religious conspiracy theories (henceforth RCTs) in Africa, ranging from outright denial, partial acceptance to spreading misinformation about the Coronavirus. This essay will argue that RCTs pose serious challenges to Covid-19 prevention by encouraging non-compliance to Covid-19 preventive measures and refusal to take Covid-19 vaccination. It will then formulate a personhood-based theory of right action. This new theory will be teased out of Ifeanyi Menkiti's account of the normative conception of personhood and deployed here as a veritable tool for overcoming the challenges posed by RCTs in the fight against the COVID-19 Pandemic in Africa.
自2019冠状病毒病大流行爆发以来,非洲的宗教阴谋论(以下简称随机对照试验)有所增加,从完全否认、部分接受到传播有关冠状病毒的错误信息。本文将论证,随机对照试验鼓励不遵守Covid-19预防措施和拒绝接种Covid-19疫苗,对Covid-19预防构成严重挑战。然后,它将形成一个基于人格的正确行为理论。这一新理论将从Ifeanyi Menkiti对人格规范概念的阐述中梳理出来,并在这里作为克服随机对照试验在非洲抗击COVID-19大流行中所带来的挑战的真正工具加以运用。

Maat and the rebirth of Kmt ‘Land of Black People’: An examination of Beatty’s Djehuty Project Maat与国民党“黑人之地”的重生:比蒂的jehuty项目考察
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2021-11-03 DOI: 10.4314/ft.v10i2.4
Joseph Aketema, O. Kambon
In this paper we examine Ɔbenfo Mario H. Beatty’s chapter, ‘Maat the Cultural and Intellectual Allegiance of a Concept’ in terms of its articulation of MꜢꜤt ‘Maat’. This examination sets out to delineate how a return to the principles inherent in MꜢꜤt ‘Maat’ can serve to bring about the Wḥm Mswt ‘Rebirth/Renaissance’ of Kmt ‘Land of Black People’ and Kmt(yw) ‘Black People’ economically and politically. This research is significant in that it points us away from the semantically vacuous and etymologically opaque terms “Africa” and “Africans” to terminology, principles and practices that restore our original identity as Kmt(yw) ‘Black People’.
在本文中,我们研究Ɔbenfo马里奥·h·比蒂的章节,“Maat一个概念的文化和知识忠诚”,就其对M ' Maat '的表达而言。本研究旨在描述回归M ' ' Maat ' ' M ' '中固有的原则如何能够在经济和政治上为国民党' '黑人的土地' '和国民党(yw) '黑人' '带来Wḥm ' M ' '重生/复兴' '。这项研究意义重大,因为它使我们远离语义空洞、词源不透明的“非洲”和“非洲人”等术语,转向恢复我们作为国民党(yw)“黑人”的原始身份的术语、原则和实践。

Race, ethnicity and a post-racial/ethnic future: A philosophical reflection 种族、民族和后种族/民族的未来:哲学反思
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2021-11-03 DOI: 10.4314/ft.v10i2.10
Ovett Nwosimiri
Ethnicity and racial identity formation are elements of our social world. In recent years, there has been numerous works on ethnicity and race. Both concepts are controversial in different disciplines. The controversies around these concepts have been heated up by scholars who have devoted their time to the discourse of ethnicity and race, and to understand the ascription of both concepts. Ethnicity and race have been causes of conflict, prejudice and discrimination among various ethnic and racial groups around the world. Thus, this paper is an attempt to discuss and critically reflect about race, ethnicity and a post-racial/ethnic future in line with Emmanuel Chukwudi Eze’s idea of the post-racial future.
民族和种族认同的形成是我们社会世界的要素。近年来,有许多关于民族和种族的著作。这两个概念在不同的学科中存在争议。围绕这些概念的争论已经被那些致力于民族和种族话语以及理解这两个概念归属的学者们激化了。民族和种族一直是世界各地各民族和种族群体之间冲突、偏见和歧视的根源。因此,本文试图以Emmanuel Chukwudi Eze关于后种族未来的观点来讨论和批判性地反思种族、民族和后种族/民族未来。

Yoruba Political Ideology in Akinwumi Ishola’s plays and the challenge of leadership crisis in Africa 伊绍拉戏剧中的约鲁巴政治意识形态与非洲领导权危机的挑战
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2021-11-03 DOI: 10.4314/ft.v10i2.13
Olajumoke Akiode
This paper is an attempt at reflective self-awareness and hermeneutical analysis of the African Yoruba Political Ideology distilled from plays by Akinwumi Ishola. It is a bid to appraise this Ideology and assess how it aids social consciousness, good governance and political stability. The real value of hermeneutical analysis is to aid clarity of thought that enables a comparison of ideas. This will facilitate the contemporary relevance of the end result and its adoption as a framework of a remedy to leadership malady plaguing Africa. The aim of this paper is to propose a socio-political philosophy that is birthed by the peculiar challenge of the dearth of good leadership in Africa and which attempts to address the leadership and governance crisis as a whole. Realizing that Africa is not a mono-cultural entity, the paper aspires to bring forth ideas that will have universal claim upon all. Our examples and references however are drawn from Yoruba cultural background and the plays to be analysed are Saworo Ide and Agogo Eewo.
本文试图从伊索拉的戏剧中提炼出非洲约鲁巴人的政治意识形态,并对其进行反思性的自我意识和解释学分析。这是为了评估这种意识形态,并评估它如何有助于社会意识、良好治理和政治稳定。解释学分析的真正价值在于帮助清晰的思想,使思想之间的比较成为可能。这将促进最终结果的当代意义,并将其作为解决困扰非洲的领导弊病的框架加以采用。本文的目的是提出一种社会政治哲学,这种哲学是由非洲缺乏良好领导力的特殊挑战所产生的,并试图解决整个领导力和治理危机。意识到非洲不是一个单一文化的实体,这篇论文渴望提出对所有人都有普遍要求的想法。然而,我们的例子和参考来自约鲁巴文化背景,要分析的戏剧是《萨沃罗·伊德》和《阿戈戈·伊沃》。

Equality, equity and justice in resource distribution in Nigeria 尼日利亚资源分配的平等、公平和正义
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2021-11-03 DOI: 10.4314/ft.v10i2.8
C. Ogbujah
In ethics and political philosophy, the concepts of equity, equality, need satisfaction, and justice are significant for the fulfilment of underlying requirements of human rights, and the attainment of peace in societies. Studies show these as potential frames for defining processes, distributing resources, sharing responsibilities, allocating rewards, demonstrating respect and dispensing with unequal treatments. Justice, as the ideal that impels us to impartially adjudicate between competent claims, is linked to equality. But as the moral force that propels actions for needs’ satisfaction, it is linked to equity. Hence, equality and equity are two elements of the theory of justice: both are grounded on the principles of distributive justice. This ‘common grounding’ apparently obfuscates their distinctive features, and over time, has elicited their equiparation. This essay highlights the archetypal frames of the notions of equity and equality as indispensable principles of social justice. It identifies the skewed distribution of resources in Nigeria as arising from a legal framework that removes the power of personal/group autonomy from the people. The essay notes the misleading tendency in the insulated use of equality for justice, and accepts the primacy of distributive justice amongst rival pathways to national cohesive living.
在伦理和政治哲学中,公平、平等、需求满足和正义的概念对于实现人权的基本要求和实现社会和平具有重要意义。研究表明,这些是定义流程、分配资源、分担责任、分配奖励、表示尊重和消除不平等待遇的潜在框架。正义作为一种理想,促使我们在合理的要求之间作出公正的裁决,它与平等有关。但作为推动满足需求的行动的道德力量,它与公平有关。因此,平等和公平是正义理论的两个要素:两者都以分配正义的原则为基础。这种“共同基础”显然混淆了它们的独特特征,随着时间的推移,它们的装备也随之产生。这篇文章强调了作为社会正义不可或缺的原则的公平和平等概念的原型框架。报告指出,尼日利亚的资源分配失衡是由于法律框架剥夺了人民的个人/群体自主权。本文指出了孤立地使用平等来实现正义的误导倾向,并接受了分配正义在通往国家凝聚力生活的竞争途径中的首要地位。

Igbo eschatology and environmentalism 伊博末世论与环境保护主义
Q1 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2021-11-03 DOI: 10.4314/ft.v10i2.6
A. Ufearoh
The present work sets out to examine the intersection between Igbo eschatology and environmentalism. It seeks to determine how the tenets of Igbo eschatology impact on environmental conservation. The approach is conversational. Given that the work centers on a particular cultural area, an ethnic nationality in West Africa with unique cultural symbols, the paper also employs the tool of hermeneutics. It is discovered that the Igbo eschatology is characteristically this-worldly, cyclic and perceives human existence as continuous given the possibility of reincarnation. Accordingly, it impacts a sense of permanence or semi-immortality on the evanescent earthly existence thus rendering the optimism or motivation which environmentalism, a futuristic endeavor, demands. This is unlike an otherworldly, linear and terminal eschatology which forecloses the possibility of continuous existence and demotivates for the care of the environment. Secondly, given the animistic and this-worldly orientation, the symbolic presence of the eschata (new realities) such as the ancestors and spirits in the mundane world elevates the status and compels respect and care for nature or the environment. The paper therefore submits that the Igbo eschatology is pro-environmentalism.
目前的工作着手检查伊博末世论和环境保护主义之间的交集。它试图确定伊博末世论的原则如何影响环境保护。这种方法是对话式的。鉴于研究的中心是一个特定的文化区域,即西非的一个具有独特文化符号的民族,本文也采用了解释学的工具。研究发现,伊博末世论的特点是世俗的、循环的,认为人类的存在是连续的,因为有轮回的可能性。因此,它对转瞬即逝的地球存在产生了一种永恒或半不朽的感觉,从而呈现出环保主义这一未来主义努力所要求的乐观主义或动力。这不同于一个超凡脱俗的,线性的和终结的末世论,它排除了持续存在的可能性,并使人们对环境的保护失去动力。其次,考虑到万物有灵论和现世取向,eschata(新现实)的象征性存在,如世俗世界中的祖先和灵魂,提升了地位,迫使人们尊重和关心自然或环境。因此,本文认为伊博人的末世论是亲环境主义的。

The paper therefore submits that the Igbo eschatology is pro-environmentalism. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000","PeriodicalId":37706,"journal":{"name":"Filosofia Theoretica","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78556438","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}

Ontosophy and anthropologised metaphysics: Revisiting the ontology of deities among the Igbo 本体论和人类学的形而上学:重新审视伊博人的神的本体论

Existentially, Igbo-African metaphysics swivels around ethics, morality, justice, and medicine. This state of being is evident in their credo on the ontology of the deities, which they see as a strategic variable in their hierarchy of beings and a critical agent in their quest for sane, responsible, peaceful existence and co- existence. Based on these premises, this paper interrogated these variables to establish the symmetry between them. In doing this, this research employed the critical analytic cum existential model in its analysis. After which, it became palpable that the existence and ontology of the deities accentuates the mode of operation of the Igbo-African and from that position; it was blatant that the communal life of the Igbo-African makes African metaphysics a lived-metaphysics or what I have called anthropologised-metaphysics.
存在主义上,伊博-非洲形而上学围绕着伦理、道德、正义和医学。这种存在状态在他们关于神的本体论的信条中是显而易见的,他们把神的本体论看作是他们生命等级中的一个战略变量,是他们追求理智、负责任、和平生存与共存的关键因素。基于这些前提,本文对这些变量进行了查询,建立了它们之间的对称性。为此,本研究在分析中采用了批判分析和存在主义模型。在那之后,很明显,神的存在和本体论强调了伊博-非洲人的运作模式,从那个位置;显而易见的是,伊博非洲人的集体生活使非洲形而上学成为一种活生生的形而上学,或者我称之为人类学的形而上学。
