eBook
Self and Community in a Changing World
2010
Overview
Revisiting African philosophy's classic questions, D. A. Masolo advances
understandings of what it means to be human -- whether of African or other origin.
Masolo reframes indigenous knowledge as diversity: How are we to understand the
place and structure of consciousness? How does the everyday color the world we know?
Where are the boundaries between self and other, universal and particular, and
individual and community? From here, he takes a dramatic turn toward Africa's
current political situation and considers why individual rights and freedoms have
not been recognized, respected, demanded, or enforced. Masolo offers solutions for
containing socially destructive conduct and antisocial tendencies by engaging
community. His unique thinking about community and the role of the individual
extends African philosophy in new, global directions.
