Gade refreshingly approaches the African philosophy of ubuntu neither as an ethnophilosophy, describing a single worldview purportedly held by all sub- Saharan peoples, nor as a moral philosophy, prescribing a single ethic they all should hold. Instead, he approaches it as an intellectual historian who is true to particularities. Resourcefully drawing on novel sources such as interviews and neglected documents, Gade reveals a variety of competing interpretations of ubuntu and plausibly argues for ways they have influenced South African politics in the post-apartheid era. -- Thaddeus Metz, University of Johannesburg Author InformationChristian B. N. Gade is assistant professor of human security at Aarhus University. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
