| Tóm tắt: | Paulin Hountondji has profoundly influenced the thinking on philosophy, languages, theology and science in Africa. His achievements should be widely disseminated and recognized internationally and open up to other disciplines and horizons in order to enrich their own thinking and engage in contemporary debates on democracy, human rights, sustainable development, etc. His work on "African philosophy" has helped to decolonize knowledge, deconstruct many myths and lay the foundations for autonomous and critical African thought. His reflections on "African languages" are particularly enlightening to understand the challenges and opportunities related to their use in the fields of science, education and culture. The intersection between his thought and "African theology" is a particularly rich and complex field of investigation, capable of responding to the needs and aspirations of Africans today. Hountondji strongly expressed the idea of an "African science", namely autonomous, creative and devoted to the development of the continent, but above all radically different from Western science. |
