Charabia et mauvaise conscience. Psychologie du langage chez les intellectuels colonisés
pas combien il est pnible d'avoir s'exprimer dans une langue dont on ne se sent pas le matre, d'tre oblig de se conformer dans son parler, et comme de l'extrieur, des normes

Un maître inoubliable
In this autobiographical essay, introduced by Ernst Wolff, Paulin Hountonji gives an account of his relation to Paul Ricœur. A sketch of his own academic development and his experience of the Parisian philosophy milieu in the 1960s serves as background for his chosing Ricœur as his doctoral supervisor. The essay makes plain the proximities between Hountondji and Ricœur (especially the study of Husserl), but identifies also occasional and missed e…

Moraliser Dieu ? Le retour à l’humain, condition de la paix mondiale
La paix partout menacée est souvent en butte à l’intégrisme religieux qui prétend défendre des valeurs morales « au nom de Dieu », là où il bafoue l’humanité. C’est pourquoi, il est temps de moraliser Dieu : assurer à chacun la possibilité de croire ou de ne pas croire, ne pas introduire de hiérarchie au sein du polythéisme et inviter les croyants à se demander ce qu’ils font de leur foi. Car, en l’espèce, si les actes valent mieux que les parole…
How African is philosophy in Africa
Let me straight from the beginning confess one thing: I am not happy with the phrase “African Philosophy” used to describe a subject-matter, a specific discipline in the university curriculum. Why? Because it seems to particularize a kind of intellectual production taking place in Africa and to deny its universal validity. It apparently means, to use the words by Jonathan Chimakonam himself, “a bordersensitive, culture-bound exclusive system that…

Seize questions sur la philosophie africaine
Conhecimento de África, conhecimento de Africanos
Em que medida são africanos os chamados Estudos Africanos? O estudo da África, tal como desenvolvido até hoje por uma longa tradição intelectual, faz parte de um projecto abrangente de acumulação do conhecimento iniciado e controlado pelo Ocidente. Este artigo defende que as sociedades africanas devem eles próprias apropriar-se activa, lúcida e responsavelmente do conhecimento sobre elas capitalizado durante séculos. Defende, mais genericamente, …
Une pensée pré-personnelle
Je ne sais plus comment, ni dans quelles circonstances, j'ai rencontre Marc Auge. Ce qui est sur, cependant, c'est que cette rencontre a d'abord ete intellectuelle. Je ne l'avais encore jamais vu quand j'ai ete surpris de lire, sous sa plume, une discussion serree sur « "Ethnophilosophie" et ideo-logique », au cinquieme chapitre de sa these admirable sur les lagunaires de la basse Cote-d'Ivoire (Auge 1975).

The Pitfalls of Being Different
It is with these virile words of the Martinique poet Aimé Сésaire, an expression of assurance regained, testimony to a self-confidence once stolen but then reconquered, that I would like to open my remarks.*Africa was present at the last great international philosophical meeting two years ago in Montreal. I would like here to illustrate the meaning behind this presence and to explain the reasons why we wanted to be present, in order to avoid faci…

Histoire d'un mythe
Pluralism - True and False
Cultural pluralism generally signifies three things:1)the fact of cultural plurality, considered as the co-existence of cultures which, in principle at least, belong to different geographical areas;2)the acknowledgement of the fact of this plurality;3)the affirmation that this plurality is a good thing, and the desire to make something of it in one way or another, either by preserving the various cultures in an individual sense in order to avoid …
