To deny the existence of African philosophy is also to reject the very idea ofphilosophy
talked about this in class
-
one of the unstated presuppositions of this question is that African philosophy is not onlyan expression of the already familiar in Western philosophy but that it also relies upon itfor its existence.
an interesting thing to consider here
-
Dialogue being the basisof deliberation, it is clear that the liberation of philosophy is possible only throughdialogue.
CORE PIECE OF PAPER: liberation of philosophy impossible without communication, communication impossible when subfields of philosophy are segregated and questioned
-
The inclusion is necessary for the liberation of philosophy from theoverwhelming one-sidedness of the history of Western philosophy
the core piece of how philosophy is trapped is that the exact study of life and the questions it poses is trapped within this white supremacist jar, where other perspectives are denoted as such, without being able to compete with the main thread of the study (the white western one)
-
Resistance to this is tantamount to the rejection of liberation. It is precisely standing firmin the position of the de-liberation of philosophy.
curious to expand on this concept
-
ducational curriculum is by definition the terrain of ideological struggle
the domain in which these narratives are oppressed in real time and blurred with western supremacy
-
elf-knowledgecan never be complete without reference to one’s roots
identity and cultural philosophies descending through generations, language, culture, land, memory
-
There was thus an implicit distinction betweenPhilosophy and philosophy, the latter being the suitable label for the African’s claim.
this is CRAZY
-
In this way, the question assumes anontological character: it calls into question the humanity of the African
circling back to the men are rational creatures but only the white man - just the original oppressive thought in a different font
-
Non-Africansare the principal initiators of this question
No one questions european philosophy and its right to exist, and no one calls it european philosophy, it is sorted into its appropriate subdivisions but all of africana philosophy is one division and thus is inherent ignorance!
-
calls for aradical overhaul of the whole epistemological paradigm underlying the currenteducational system
things need to be restarted from SCRATCH otherwise these colonial and oppressive teachings are ingrained
-
decontextualized to the extent that it systematically and persistently ignored andexcluded the experience of being-an-African in Africa.
100%. regardless of the universality of the western philosophies, and the interactions between questions derived from african-living and western philosophies, there is still to be acknowledged that western teachings in african spaces is inherently colonial
-
notnecessarily based upon the living experience
philosophy comes from scholars and gaonwallas, all of whom understand the living condition of their own dominated space, and thus, philosophies and philosophers are everywhere and are a manifestation of the way of living

ensuring that the conferencewould adopt resolutions that would absolve them from both the moral and the legal guiltof the violence of colonization and the inhumanity of racism
Continuing the cycle of oppression through the maintenance of it
-
tmust be emphasized in favour of the United States and, with particular reference tohostile sentiment towards Israel or the world Jewry, that it is ethically imperative tooppose vigorously anyone who contemplates a repeat of the irrationality and theinhumanity of Hitler’s holocaust.
well yes!
-
losing land to the conqueror, the African thereby lost a vital resourceto life
land and culture connection
-
democracy became inadvertently theroute towards the inhumanity as well as the irrationality of the holocaust
an interesting thought… curious as to exactly how and what is meant by this

impact of african philosophy
-
questionable belief that ‘man is a rational animal’ excludes the African, the Amerindian,and the Australasian
Decolonisation didnt dismantle this aristotelian construct that the rational creature that is man doesnt extend past eurocentric communities
-
Aristotle’s definition of man was deeply inscribed in the social ethos of thosecommunities and societies that undertook the so-called voyages of discovery—apparentlydriven by innocent curiosity
So what defines a rational being/man is innocent curiousity/desire to discover?
-
benign forgivenes
forgiveness of sexist philosophy = benign? curious as to what this means

Aristotle erases the existence and acknowledgement of his own mother through the pure recognition of man as rational

to benefit one’s friends and harm one’s enemies is justice
socrates understanding of justice. so is justice subjective?
-
Isn’t the person most ableto land a blow, whether in boxing or any other kind of fight, also mostable to guard against it
is the metaphor here: those who are capable of injustices are also capable of ensuring justice? what does that look like? are those not antithetical unless the agent of injustice was very aware of their transgressions?
-
someone a good and useful partner in a game of checkers becausehe’s just or because he’s a checkers player?bBecause he’s a checkers player.
typical of it being difficult to define things in philosophy... how do you define a just person, how do you define when justice is necessary, etc

-
owe to each other
how do you determined what is owed (especially when it comes to things that are intangible?)
-
Should one also give one’s enemies whatever isowed to them
creates the situation in which maybe your perception of justice is skewed
-
definition of justice isn’t speaking the truth and repaying whatone has borrowed
not universalisable like this
-
thosewho have made it for themselves are twice as fond of it as those whochaven’t
money and relationship with it

the word resource, which now connotes ownership and pro-duction for profit, comes from the old French feminine past participle re-sourdre, which meant “to rise again.”18 The word horticulture, which comesfrom the roots hortus (“to garden”) and culture (“to take care of, worship,cultivate, respect”

The shallow image of the conservation-mindedIndian who hardly uses, let alone influences nature and feels guilty aboutbreaking a branch is perhaps based on a romantic notion stemming fromEuro-American longings to have those same tendencies rather than onserious research into indigenous lifeways.
very similar to women = virgins = precious/naive whatever

it really puts everything in perspective to think how soon this all was

how much have their curriculums changed? oftentimes there is still bias that perpetuates over the years

intermar-riage added to this ethnic diversity
consensual intermarriage?

bodies in mass graves remain nameless at the Missions of San Diego and San Francisco de Asís
why is it still nameless - this part of history should be acknowledged by California's missions rather than hid
-
had their feet or heads cut off and put on sticks for the public to see as examples of punishment
like the rubber plantations in Congo
-
Tongva as Gabrielinos
disgusting - they have no authority to do that
-
history that many missions still fall short of acknowledging.
missions are parallel to WWII concentration camps but we still educate kids with the idea that its normal and important to understand California's current state (as opposed to how extreme the concentration camps are presented to be in high school - which they are, but the U.S. education system is very hypocritical in this case).

310,000 Native Americans living in current-day California in 1769, only about one-sixth remained after a hundred years of colonization

drought and fire were significant threats, and the dry heat of SoCal is a breeding ground for both

this and the orange farming helped to increase the population

the same orange plants that started the rush of people moving to SoCal?

like the indian (subcontinent India, not native-american indian) god?

are these people all the ones who were plagued by drought and fire (mentioned in the History of Pomona College as the reason for the scant population before the influx after the construction of the railroad)?
-
ty to Mission Sa
ironic that the article explains how Americans came to Pomona valley and here it mentions its proximity to a mission, a place where the true American people and their culture of the time were being erased.

ended his life with a shot gun, a favorite way of ending one's life in those days
The way this is phrased implies this type of suicide was common. What about life in this place and era desensitised society to this type of behaviour?
