Subject: New email List: AFRI-PHIL
The following is the latest addition to the Bucknell Internet
Philosophy Initiative.
Announcing the creation of a new Internet email discussion group
**************************************
AFRI-PHIL
**************************************
For the discussion of topics related to the _philosophy_ of African
society and history, its current issues and future directions.
The primary purpose of this List is to provide a forum for the
exchange of views, experiences, techniques, and professional
information pertaining to the teaching and study of the philosophical
thought of African and African-diaspora cultures. The principal
emphasis of the List will be upon the philosophical examination of
African thought and culture, though this emphasis should not be taken
restrictively or in a manner excluding the consideration of other
approaches (e.g., literary, historical, anthropological, etc.)
This List is conceived of as a companion and complement to a
forthcoming new journal tentatively titled AFRICANA: PHILOSOPHICAL AND
CULTURAL STUDIES. Our hope is that the two enterprises will grow and
develop in tandem. For further information regarding this new
journal, send an email message to the List Manager, Emmanuel Eze, at
the email address given below.
We anticipate and encourage discussion on this List of such
topics as:
--New publications (books and articles) relevant to African
philosophy; --Future directions and current controversies in
African philosophy; --Discussions of how African philosophy is
taught (i.e., the various emphases and manners of presentation
of philosophical issues in courses of various levels);
--The relations of African philosophy to ordinary languages
and literatures, and to scientific and technological
traditions, as well as practices of work and religion;
--Conceptions of logic and rationality as these are influenced
by and reflect cultural differences (e.g., between African and
European, and African and Oriental
--Questions pertaining to major and influential figures in
African philosophy, both classical and contemporary, e.g, e.g,
Za'ra Yaeqob, Frantz Fanon,Odera Oruka, etc.
--Where African philosophy seems to be going as cultures move
into the 21st Century.
Thus, this list is primarily intended to be a forum
(i) for scholarly and interdisciplinary discussions of African
philosophy and its relations to other traditions and schools of
philosophy;
(ii) for pedagogical and theoretical discussions of materials
relating to research and teaching regarding African thought and
philosophy.
(ii) for sharing information regarding conferences, lectures,
recent publications, bibliographies, new WWW sites, and other
information of potential value to those interested in African
philosophy.
The list is largely unmoderated and open to anyone, from any
discipline, with a serious academic interest in this area of
study. Questions, shared research and insight, and relevant conference
announcements/calls for papers are welcome and encouraged.
