摘要

认识上的非殖民化已成为学术界和日常生活的中心议题。认识论上的非殖民化是对西方思维方式及其自以为是的霸权权威的消解。它还呼吁将非洲的知识事业从以西方为中心的方向重新集中到以非洲为中心的方向，以适应非洲的认识形成。在本文中，我打算通过展示参与非洲认识论是认识论非殖民化的一种形式来促进对认识论非殖民化的讨论。我的观点是，当我们走出西方认识论，与其他传统的知识(比如非洲认识论)接触时，我们正在重新校准知识企业。

Engaging in African Epistemology as a Form of Epistemic Decolonization

Epistemic decolonization has taken centre stage in academia and everyday life. Epistemic decolonization is a call to dismantle the Western way of thinking and its self-arrogated hegemonic authority. It is also a call to re-centre the knowledge enterprise in Africa from a western-centric orientation to an African-centric one to accommodate African epistemic formations. In this paper, I intend to contribute to the discussions of epistemic decolonization by showing that engaging in African epistemology is a form of epistemic decolonization. My argument is that we are recalibrating the knowledge enterprise when we go outside of the western episteme to engage with knowledge in other traditions, such as African epistemology.
