Abstract

This article explores the notion of ubuntu philosophy as a praxis by employing Enrique Dussel’s philosophy of liberation as a critical lens. I aim to provide a contextual background to the imposed Euro-modernity that necessitates and dictates for a need for a liberatory praxis. I argue that given its anterior nature, ubuntu can be used as a praxis for the marginalised African subjects if authentically enacted to affirm critical consciousness and social transformation. To this end, I will critically analyse the two key maxims of ubuntu, namely “I am because you are”, and “my humanness is dependent on others’ humanity”.

探索乌班图作为一种解放实践的概念

本文以杜塞尔的解放哲学为批判视角，探讨了乌班图哲学作为实践的概念。我的目的是为强加的欧洲现代性提供一个背景，这需要并规定了解放实践的必要性。我认为，鉴于其前沿性，如果真的被用来肯定批判性意识和社会转型，乌班图可以被用作边缘化非洲主体的实践。为此，我将批判性地分析ubuntu的两条关键格言，即“我是因为你是”和“我的人性依赖于他人的人性”。
