Existence and Heritage
2015
Overview
In Existence and Heritage , Tsenay Serequeberhan examines
what the European philosophical tradition has to offer when
encountered from the outsider perspective of postcolonial African
thought. He reads Kant in the context of contemporary international
relations, finds in Gadamer's work a way of conceiving relations
among differing traditions, and explores Heidegger's analysis of
existence as it converges with Marx's critique of alienation. In
the confluence of these different assessments, Serequeberhan
articulates both a need and example of responding to Fanon's call
for a new kind of thinking in philosophy. He demonstrates both how
continental philosophy can be a useful resource for theorizing
Africa's postcolonial condition and how postcolonial thought and
African philosophy can provide a new way of approaching and
understanding the Western tradition.
