A Response to Michael Eze on Decolonising African Political Philosophy
The call to decolonise African political philosophy by Michael Eze is necessitated by the question of rights and common good in the African conception of personhood initiated by Ifeanyi Menkiti and Kwame Gyekye. Eze sees this debate as influenced by Western thought and concerns. Eze points to a manifestation of the influence of Western dualistic categories in the delivery of the Menkiti-Gyekye debate on rights. A Western dualistic methodology is …
Substantive Majoritarian Consensual Democracy
Afro-communitarian thinkers have often pointed to consensual democracy as a valuable feature of traditional African societies. African philosophers, including Kwasi Wiredu and Bernard Matolino, have drawn attention to this pattern of political arrangement to consider what the political practice means for modern African politics. While Wiredu praissed consensual democracy and sought to explore how it could be relevant for contemporary African demo…
Limited Communitarianism and the Merit of Afro-communitarian Rejectionism
Limited communitarianism is presented as an alternative to classical communitarianism in African philosophy. Bernard Matolino, the proponent of this view, argues that personhood can be attained with the constitutive features of the self leading the process, as against the historical, classical communitarian view that prioritises the sociality of the self. He posits that it is a personhood conceived through such view as limited communitarianism th…
The post-death question in African metaphysics
Aribiah Attoe took issue with the materialist and the non-materialist African conceptions of death by arguing that the reality of death puts pressure on the human conception of life’s meaning. He admits the reality of an afterlife experience through a causal principle that sees events in the world as the product of interactions between predetermined past events. It is an afterlife where a decomposing body continues interacting with other things i…
The end of ubuntu”
In a joint article1 with Wenceslaus Kwindingwi, Bernard Matolino declared an end to ubuntu. The declaration, they argue, is a result of the failure of ubuntu in practice and theory in modern African societies. This declaration triggered strong reactions, and an analysis of these responses suggests the need for continuous interrogations of African ideals and beliefs and their relevance to modern African thought. In this article, I argue that Kwind…
Second-wave AI and Afro-existential norms
The idea of afro-existentialism connotes how Africans make sense of living and the meaning and meaninglessness attached to human existence. Different phenomena inform the way humans interpret existence, and one of such in the contemporary period, with great influence on Africans, is human involvement with non-human intelligence (AI), in its different eruptions. This paper focuses on the second-wave AI, which is a period of improved simulation of …
