通过乌班图看非洲哲学

简介

Ramose’s book, first published in Harare in 1999, presents ubuntu – known from the Nguni saying “umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu”, a person is a person through other persons – as the basis of a systematic African philosophy. Ramose stresses the hyphen in “ubu-ntu”: “ubu” stands for being in general, “-ntu” for its concrete unfolding, so that being is a continuous process, “be-ing”. Community in this sense includes the living, the living dead and the yet-to-be-born. Further chapters apply the idea to law, politics, religion and medicine. The book is widely cited in South African debates about ubuntu, reconciliation and the decolonisation of philosophy.
