Condizione: Very Good. : En este libro, el filósofo ghanés Kwasi Wiredu aborda la paradoja de que, mientras las culturas occidentales retroceden ante las afirmaciones de universalidad, los pueblos previamente colonizados, que buscan redefinir sus identidades, insisten en particularidades culturales. Wiredu afirma que los universales, concebidos correctamente sobre la base de nuestra identidad biológica común, no son incompatibles con las particularidades culturales y, de hecho, son lo que hace posible la comunicación intercultural. Basándose en aspectos del pensamiento akan que parecen divergir de las concepciones occidentales en las áreas de la ética y la metafísica, Wiredu pide una reevaluación justa de estas disparidades, libre de patrones de pensamiento corrompidos por una mentalidad colonial. La exposición de Wiredu de los principios de la filosofía tradicional africana no es puramente teórica; muestra cómo ciertos aspectos del pensamiento político africano pueden aplicarse a la resolución práctica de algunos de los problemas más apremiantes de África.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Wiredu's discussion of culturally defined values and concepts, as well as his attention to such timely issues as human rights, makes this book invaluable interdisciplinary reading.' -D. A. Masolo Ghanaian philosopher Kwasi Wiredu confronts the paradox that while Western cultures recoil from claims of universality, previously colonized peoples, seeking to redefine their identities, insist on cultural particularities. Wiredu asserts that universals, rightly conceived on the basis of our common biological identity, are not incompatible with cultural particularities and, in fact, are what make intercultural communication possible. Drawing on aspects of Akan thought that appear to diverge from Western conceptions in the areas of ethics and metaphysics, Wiredu calls for a just reappraisal of these disparities, free of thought patterns corrupted by a colonial mentality. Wiredu's exposition of the principles of African traditional philosophy is not purely theoretical; he shows how certain aspects of African political thought may be applied to the practical resolution of some of Africa's most pressing problems.…
