An ubu-ntu Perspective on Dialogue among World Philosophies (Mogobe Ramose)

The Speaking Human Being (homo loquens) Precedes the Writing Human Being (homo scriptans): An ubu-ntu Perspective on Dialogue among World Philosophies Lecture by Mogobe Ramose (University of South Africa) Thursday, April 17, 2025, 2 p.m. (CEST), Cultural Campus, Aula & Live Streaming Part of the Lecture Series "Philosophizing in African Languages" Abstract Philosophy, as a human inclination, is as old as human beings on Mother Earth. It is thus pluriversal. As an academic discipline, it remains a contested terrain, especially since colonization by the West and the economic fundamentalism known as globalization. The ubuntu perspective adopted here will take cognizance of the rivers of Africa as a source of philosophy (fluvial philosophy). I propose to examine this human condition critically, taking the philosophy of ubuntu as my point of departure. Short Bio Mogobe Bernard Ramose is a South African-born philosopher known for his foundational role in the internationalization of African philosophy, particularly Ubuntu.
