Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Philosophy - Miscellaneous, grade: 80%, Loyola College (Department of Philosophy), course: Philosophy, language: English, abstract: In the exploration of philosophical thought, African philosophy stands as a rich tapestry of cultural depth and intellectual inquiry, offering unique insights into the human experience. This thesis delves into the essence of African philosophical thought and its interaction with Eurocentric influences. Against the backdrop of Africa's diverse traditions and histories, this study seeks to understand the role of Ubuntu philosophy in shaping African identity amidst the challenges posed by Eurocentric ideologies. The introductory sections provide a foundation for the analysis, outlining the dissertation's structure and objectives. Beginning with an overview of African philosophy's tenets, nature, and historical development, the study examines fundamental principles such as the interconnectedness of individuals and communities, the importance of oral traditions, and the influence of societal structures on philosophical discourse. Subsequent chapters explore contemporary philosophical trends within Africa, highlighting diverse schools of thought that have emerged in response to external influences. From ethnophilosophy to hermeneutics, each school offers unique insights into Africa's philosophical landscape, reflecting the ongoing quest to reclaim indigenous wisdom and challenge Eurocentric hegemony. Central to the inquiry is an examination of Eurocentrism and its impact on African philosophy. Through an analysis of colonial legacies, racial biases, and epistemological paradigms, the study illuminates the ways in which Eurocentric ideologies have marginalized and distorted African intellectual traditions, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of Ubuntu philosophy as a potential response. At its core, the study interrogates Ubuntu philosophy and its transformative potential in the face of Eurocentric domination. Drawing on historical accounts, contemporary examples, and comparative analyses, it elucidates Ubuntu's core principles of interconnectedness, compassion, and communal solidarity, highlighting its universal relevance as a philosophy of human dignity and mutual respect.
