Filosofia de onde? Filosofia para quem? Considerações éticas em afroperspectiva na Filosofia Ubuntu

Abstract

The text in question is a monographic work at the end of an undergraduate course in philosophy in which, through a vast literature review, I write in an essayistic perspective about the need for a philosophical approach that escapes the premise of ubuntu Eurocentrism by walking through necessary fields of debate within a decolonizing notion of knowledge, curriculum and life. Therefore, I bring in these writings notions about decolonial theories, as well as a discussion on African philosophies, specifying the debate in the ethical conception brought by ubuntu philosophy and how we can think about the inseparability of the subject-object relationship in research in general from this perspective. referential. For this it is necessary to revisit some notions that are sometimes “crystallized” in our thoughts, such as: what is history? What story were we told and by whom? Is it possible to think the history of philosophy outside of the myth of a single history? What is philosophy? Can we think of it without being within the framework of the “Greek miracle”? Is philosophy universal or universalized? Is there a philosophy outside the Europe - North America axis? Are black people really people? If they are people, do they think and produce philosophical knowledge? Are there other worldviews than the Eurocentric one? If so, is it possible to develop philosophical knowledge from other cosmogonies?
