Produktbeschreibung
The author deepens and reframes his object, which is to identify, decipher and decipher questions that are "likely to shed light on the complex links that today, and more strongly in the past, bind Africa to the West, thus determining not only attitudes to being, but also the exercise of thought, knowledge practices and ways of living".The adventure as Mudimbe describes it is an archaeology of the production of Africanist and "Africanized" knowledge. The question that preoccupies him is what makes historical, anthropological and religious commentaries on Africa possible. More precisely, his interrogations concern their constitution as a system of knowledge, the style, form and content of this knowledge and, finally, the major philosophical questions that emanate from it. More specifically, he conducts a close investigation of the Western epistemological order and its modes of analysis, which he believes are to be found in approaches that claim to be Afro-centric and based on authentic African traditions. The aim of this book is also to show that: the concept of "democracy" in Africa.
