Kwame Gyekye’s moderate communitarianism is considered a defence of individual rights and the equal worth of rights and duties in Afro-communitarianism. It concerns the primary status of rights and duties in modern African thought. However, moderate communitarianism has been received with strong reactions, one of which is the supposed serious consideration it gives to duties and community in the final analysis of its argument regarding the conception of personhood and the relationship between the self and its community. Criticism of moderate communitarianism is about its inability to capture the rights of individuals that is bold in its demand for primary status in the Afro-communitarian political thought dominated by the supremacy of communal duties—a stance that triggered its emergence. Nonetheless, I argue that a reading of moderate communitarianism demonstrates that its criticism is mainly due to some unclarity in Gyekye’s analysis and that, contrary to existing defence, moderate communitarianism, as an account of moderate persons and moderate communities, is not a description of what exists in Afro-communitarianism but a designed framework for modern Afro-communitarianism in a way that redefines the communitarian nature of African thought. Interpreting moderate communitarianism as suggesting a direction for Afro-communitarianism would be essential for a meaningful engagement with it.
Kwame Gyekye的温和社群主义被认为是对个人权利的捍卫,以及非洲社群主义中权利和义务的平等价值。它涉及权利和义务在现代非洲思想中的首要地位。然而,温和的社群主义受到了强烈的反应,其中之一是,在对其关于人格概念和自我与社群之间关系的论点进行最终分析时,它对责任和社群给予了应有的认真考虑。对温和社群主义的批评在于它没有能力抓住个人的权利,它大胆地要求在以社群责任至上为主导的非洲社群主义政治思想中占据首要地位——这一立场引发了它的出现。尽管如此,我认为,对温和社群主义的解读表明,对它的批评主要是由于Gyekye分析中的一些不清晰,而且,与现有的辩护相反,温和社群主义,作为对温和的人和温和的社区的描述,并不是对非洲社群主义存在的描述,而是为现代非洲社群主义设计的框架,以一种重新定义非洲思想的社群主义本质的方式。将温和的社群主义解读为非洲社群主义的方向,对于与之进行有意义的接触至关重要。

Gentle Justice Reduces Recidivism and Incarceration: Can South Africa Benefit from the Finnish Experience? 温和的司法减少了累犯和监禁:南非能从芬兰的经验中受益吗?

This is a study of how Finland, a Western democracy which has considerably reduced its rate of recidivism, could help South Africa achieve more effective crime control, despite vested interests (such as the prison-industrial-complex, which profits from the perpetuation of crime). This contribution also considers Braithwaite’s seminal distinction between stigmatising and integrative shaming cultures and how Finland, even though it has a stigmatising shaming culture, has achieved a recidivism rate of around 31% (with deincarceration at 53/100 000). This is much better than South Africa’s unacceptably high 86–94% (259/100 000). By using a conflict transformation theoretical lens, it is argued that this great accomplishment in Finland manifests as a result of a meaningful acknowledgement of offenders’ and ex-offenders’ basic human needs, thereby removing this primary source of human conflict. In conclusion, Finland’s criminal justice system is a good blueprint that South Africa’s Department of Correctional Services should seriously consider emulating.
这是一项关于芬兰这个西方民主国家如何帮助南非实现更有效的犯罪控制的研究,尽管存在既得利益(比如从犯罪持续中获利的监狱工业联合体)。芬兰已经大大降低了其累犯率。这篇文章还考虑了Braithwaite对污名化和综合羞辱文化的开创性区分,以及芬兰虽然有污名化的羞辱文化,但如何实现了约31%的再犯率(其中去监禁率为53/10万)。这比南非令人难以接受的86-94%(259/10万)要好得多。通过运用冲突转化理论的视角,作者认为芬兰的这一伟大成就体现了对罪犯和前罪犯基本人类需求的有意义的承认,从而消除了这一人类冲突的主要来源。总之,芬兰的刑事司法制度是一个很好的蓝图,南非惩教署应该认真考虑仿效。

How (Most) Philosophers Have Failed Humanity (大多数)哲学家是如何辜负人类的

This paper focuses on the theme of “how (most) philosophers have been struck by blindness in the age of the ‘great reset’ and failed humanity.” I have been able to trace only a few philosophers or intellectuals who have seen through the fog of dis- and misinformation to grasp the iatrocratic and corporatocratic aims of private global organisations, namely to reduce the numbers of, and enslave the rest of humanity by various lethal and otherwise destructive means. The paper initially concentrates on the question of what a philosopher is, followed by a discussion of the contributions of four exemplary philosophers who have had the perspicacity and courage to grasp the true nature of forced global events since the start of the “pandemic.” It further focuses on some criticism against their position(s), where necessary providing evidence to either support or invalidate the positions concerned. Evidence is adduced for the claim that those who submitted to Draconian rules and unjustified injections did not think through the manner in which this happened, nor did the necessary prior research concerning the vaunted safety of the “vaccines” or the probable ultimate goal of forces driving the neo-fascist transformation of contemporary society.
本文的主题是“在‘大重置’和人类失败的时代,(大多数)哲学家是如何被失明所打击的。”,以各种致命和其他破坏性手段奴役人类。这篇论文最初集中在哲学家是什么的问题上,然后讨论了四位模范哲学家的贡献,他们自“疫情”开始以来就有敏锐的洞察力和勇气来把握被迫发生的全球事件的真实性质,在必要时提供证据以支持或使有关立场无效。有证据表明,那些接受严厉规则和不合理注射的人没有仔细考虑这种情况的发生方式,也没有对“疫苗”的吹嘘安全性或推动当代社会新法西斯变革的力量可能的最终目标进行必要的事先研究。

White Settler-colonialism and Epistemic Violence in “Post-apartheid South Africa”: An Azanian Philosophical Analysis 白人定居者殖民主义与“后种族隔离南非”的认知暴力——阿扎尼亚哲学分析

Masilo Lepuru
This article is a critical attempt to problematise the notions of European Modernity and Rationality. It is fundamentally an Afrikan philosophical critique of epistemic violence that comes with European Modernity and Rationality. It argues that European Modernity triumphed in “South Africa” following unjust conquest of the Indigenous people since 1652, which was characterised by loss of sovereignty and epistemicide. This resulted in the violent imposition of the law and jurisprudence of White settlers, which are antithetical to Afrikan law and jurisprudence. This epistemicidal nature of White settler colonialism manifests itself through the legal technicalisation of issues of historical injustice.
这篇文章是对欧洲现代性和理性概念进行问题化的批判性尝试。从根本上讲,这是一种对认识暴力的非洲哲学批判,伴随着欧洲的现代性和理性。它认为,自1652年以来,欧洲现代性在“南非”取得了胜利,这是对土著人民的不公正征服,其特点是主权的丧失和认识的杀戮。这导致白人定居者的法律和判例被暴力强加,这与非洲法律和判例背道而驰。白人定居者殖民主义的这种杀人性质通过对历史不公正问题的法律技术化表现出来。

Mbiti on Community in African Political Thought: Reconciling the “I” and the “We” Mbiti论非洲政治思想中的共同体:调和“我”与“我们”
IF 0.8 0 PHILOSOPHY Pub Date : 2023-05-08 DOI: 10.25159/2413-3086/12205
Tosin Adeate
In this article, I draw attention to the value of community in John Mbiti’s philosophy using his famous axiom by reconciling the tension between the individual and community his philosophy envisages. To do this, I offer a reconstruction of Mbiti’s communitarian axiom: “I am because we are; and since we are, therefore I am.” Mbiti is considered one of the forerunners of the communitarian debate in African philosophy. His axiom, which describes his idea of Afro-communitarianism, accounts for the importance of individual and community in thinking about social existence in African thought. However, Mbiti’s argument for the direct influence of the community in the formation of the individual is taken to mean the supremacy of the community over the individual. Mbiti’s concept of community has implications for the idea of personhood in that it raises the question of individual agency. This has affected the reception of Mbiti’s contribution to the idea of community in African political thought. While Mbiti’s contributions to Afro-communitarianism transcend the discourse of personhood, I argue that maximising the potential of his idea requires reconstruction and a critical analysis of his axiom. In doing that, I demonstrate that a possible relationship exists between the “I” and “we” in his axiom that represents a harmony between the community and individual and does not suggest a primacy of either but the significance of community. This analysis will enable fair engagement with Mbiti’s conception of community.
在这篇文章中,我通过调和约翰·姆比提哲学所设想的个人与社区之间的紧张关系,利用他著名的公理,提请人们注意约翰·姆比蒂哲学中的社区价值。为了做到这一点,我重构了姆比提的社群主义公理:“我之所以是因为我们是;既然我们是,所以我是。”姆比提被认为是非洲哲学中社群主义辩论的先驱之一。他的公理描述了他的非洲社群主义思想,说明了个人和社区在非洲思想中思考社会存在的重要性。然而,姆比提关于社区对个人形成的直接影响的论点被认为意味着社区对个人的至高无上。姆比提的社区概念对人格概念有影响,因为它提出了个人能动性的问题。这影响了姆比提对非洲政治思想中共同体思想的贡献。虽然姆比提对非洲社群主义的贡献超越了人格的论述,但我认为,要最大限度地发挥他的思想潜力,需要重建和对他的公理进行批判性分析。在这样做的过程中,我证明了在他的公理中,“我”和“我们”之间存在着一种可能的关系,这种关系代表了社区和个人之间的和谐,并不意味着两者的首要地位,而是社区的重要性。这一分析将使人们能够公平地参与姆比提的社区概念。

‘Conversational Decoloniality’: Re-Imagining Viable Guidelines for African Decolonial Agenda “对话式非殖民化”:重新构想非洲非殖民化议程的可行准则
IF 0.8 0 PHILOSOPHY Pub Date : 2023-01-20 DOI: 10.25159/2413-3086/11479

This article identifies the agenda of decoloniality as a call to seek solutions to Africa’s problems from within herself (Africa). This call has its hold in colonial and post-independent attempts by African Nationalists, writers, freedom fighters and philosophers to defend Africa’s cultural heritages, even against its underestimation by scholars of other climes of the world. It further argues that, though justice done to this quest would afford Africa to regain her existential humanism in a global setting, the defence of African cultural heritages has not yielded much-desired efforts due largely to methodological error. This article observed that African scholars often, in the attempt to free their intellectual outputs from European ethnocentric postulations, overbears the indigenous idea in the decolonial projects. This error is noted to be a consequence of the tendency to deify African worldviews and thought processes. Employing the conversational method of philosophising Chimakonam (2015, 2017a, 2017b, and 2018), this article attempts to interrogate the agenda for decolonisation and re-Africanisation. It argues for the idea of conversational decolonisation. This article concludes that a conversational decolonised process would, among other things, be appropriate for a scholarly response to colonial denigrations and underestimations of African cultures and traditions. It would also be a framework for achieving African self-definition in the modern world without compromising African identity.
本文将非殖民化议程确定为从自身内部寻求解决非洲问题的呼吁(非洲)。这一呼吁在非洲民族主义者、作家、自由斗士和哲学家捍卫非洲文化遗产的殖民主义和后独立时代的尝试中得到了支持,即使世界其他地区的学者低估了这一呼吁。它进一步认为,尽管公正对待这一追求将使非洲在全球环境中重新获得其生存的人道主义,但主要由于方法错误,保护非洲文化遗产并没有产生太多期望的努力。这篇文章观察到,非洲学者在非殖民化项目中,为了将他们的智力输出从欧洲种族中心的假设中解放出来,往往夸大了土著思想。这种错误被认为是将非洲世界观和思维过程神化的趋势的结果。本文运用Chimakonam哲学的对话方法(20152017a、2017b和2018),试图对非殖民化和重新非洲化的议程进行质疑。它主张对话式非殖民化。这篇文章的结论是,对话式的非殖民化进程,除其他外,将适合于对殖民地否认和低估非洲文化和传统的学术回应。它还将是在不损害非洲特性的情况下,在现代世界实现非洲自我定义的框架。

A Cross-cultural Feminist Analysis of Dominant Discourse on Modern Chinese Marriages: Is the personal still political? 中国现代婚姻主流话语的跨文化女性主义分析:个人的还是政治的?
IF 0.8 0 PHILOSOPHY Pub Date : 2023-01-20 DOI: 10.25159/2413-3086/10037
Casper Lötter
In view of China’s deepening engagement in Africa, I consider progress with regard to gender roles as a valuable measure by which to comparatively gauge the emancipatory feminist potential of Chinese and South African marriage practices. By way of cross-cultural feminist analysis, I thereby attempt to evaluate the institutionalised master discourse on gender dynamics within marriage in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). In particular, this ideological critique will employ second-wave feminism’s “personal as political” theoretical lens, as well as both Jacques Lacan’s theory of discourse and Pierre Bourdieu’s distinction between orthodox and heterodox discourses. Additionally, the dominant discourse on marriage in the post-Maoist PRC is argued to be both oppressive (same-sex marriage remains illegal) and progressive (divorce by agreement is an administrative act). If therefore, the twenty-first century is indeed to be a time of Chinese global dominance, such investigations are pertinent to questions of global gender equality, as well as to cross-cultural social justice discourse in general.
鉴于中国在非洲的参与不断加深,我认为性别角色方面的进展是一项有价值的衡量标准,可以用来比较评估中国和南非婚姻实践解放女权主义的潜力。通过跨文化女权主义分析,我试图评估中华人民共和国婚姻中性别动态的制度化主话语。特别是,这一意识形态批判将采用第二波女权主义的“个人即政治”理论视角,以及雅克·拉康的话语理论和皮埃尔·布迪厄对正统话语和异端话语的区分。此外,在后毛主义时代的中国,关于婚姻的主流话语被认为是压迫性的(同性婚姻仍然是非法的)和进步性的(协议离婚是一种行政行为)。因此,如果21世纪确实是中国在全球占据主导地位的时代,那么这些调查与全球性别平等问题以及跨文化的社会正义话语都是相关的。

Reflections of West-African thought Traditions in the Context of German Enlightenment: Amo as Cross-cultural Philosopher 德国启蒙语境下的西非思想传统反思——阿莫作为跨文化哲学家

This paper explores discernible resonances of West-African thought traditions in the philosophical writings of Amo. We highlight a combination of religio-theological and philosophical motifs that point in the direction of an impregnation of Amo’s thinking by the encyclopaedia of his place of birth. Amo was neither decidedly a European nor an African philosopher, as controversies had it in the past. To a certain degree, he was both. From traces of this awareness of his origin in the coastal area of today’s Ghana, we argue for his place in African philosophy by pursuing the thesis that he should be appropriately appreciated as a self-confident West-African, educated in German philosophical traditions and critically engaged in enlightenment philosophy.
本文探讨了阿莫哲学著作中西非思想传统的明显共鸣。我们强调了宗教神学和哲学主题的结合,这些主题指向了阿莫出生地百科全书对其思想的渗透方向。阿莫既不是欧洲哲学家,也不是非洲哲学家,就像过去有争议的那样。在某种程度上,他两者都是。从他起源于今天加纳沿海地区的这种意识的痕迹来看,我们通过追求这样一个论点来论证他在非洲哲学中的地位,即他应该被适当地欣赏为一个自信的西非人,接受德国哲学传统的教育,并批判性地从事启蒙哲学。

Marcel and Ricoeur’s Understanding of Being as Incarnate Existence: Against the Possible Contemporary Return of the Mind-body Dualism 马塞尔和利科对存在的化身理解——兼论身心二元论可能的当代回归
IF 0.8 0 PHILOSOPHY Pub Date : 2022-11-03 DOI: 10.25159/2413-3086/11515

In this article, we indicate some examples of the possible contemporary return of the mind-body dualism. Aspects of contemporary culture, like the influence of brain-computer interface (BCI) or brain-machine interface (BMI), neuroscience projects, and the popularity of sci-fi series and movies that visualise the separation of consciousness from our bodies, are discussed. Only a few of these examples are indicated as introductory to emphasise the need to think again about the importance of some of the strongest philosophical arguments against this dualism. It is in this regard that we will focus on the philosophies of Gabriel Marcel and Paul Ricoeur. Of specific concern for us in this article is Marcel’s influence on Ricoeur in his fundamental rejection of the mind-body dualism. This article’s unique contribution lies, then, in the fact that it analyses and reveals this influence of Marcel on Ricoeur, especially with regards to their shared understanding of embodied being, or incarnate existence, as opposed to a body-mind dualism. This investigation of how Marcel influenced Ricoeur provides a better understanding of: i) Ricoeur’s account of embodied being; ii) Marcel’s philosophy and concept of incarnate existence as being; and finally, iii) the importance of rejecting a mind-body dualism for our contemporary thought and living
在这篇文章中,我们指出了一些可能在当代回归身心二元论的例子。讨论了当代文化的各个方面,如脑机接口(BCI)或脑机接口的影响、神经科学项目,以及将意识与身体分离可视化的科幻系列和电影的流行。这些例子中只有少数是介绍性的,以强调需要重新思考反对这种二元论的一些最有力的哲学论点的重要性。正是在这方面,我们将重点关注加布里埃尔·马塞尔和保罗·里科的哲学。在这篇文章中,我们特别关注的是马塞尔对利科的影响,他从根本上拒绝了身心二元论。因此,这篇文章的独特贡献在于,它分析并揭示了马塞尔对Ricoeur的这种影响,特别是关于他们对化身存在或化身存在的共同理解,而不是身心二元论。对马塞尔如何影响利科的研究提供了更好的理解:一)利科对具体存在的描述;(二)马塞尔的哲学思想和存在论;最后,iii)拒绝身心二元论对我们当代思想和生活的重要性
