摘要:

维雷杜自觉继承并发展加纳哲学传统,在非洲政治哲学中既“破”又“立”。于“破”,他提出概念去殖民化,批判用西方概念剪裁非洲传统思想,避免非洲人错误看待自身。于“立”,他主张重构非洲社群传统,使之回应当下的思想需求和政治现实,并从阿肯传统阐释出带有社群主义色彩的人格观。在反思独立以来不同时期非洲政治发展的弊端后,他从传统政治实践中汲取养分,提倡无党派的共识民主。尽管仍有局限,但维雷杜树立起利用本土资源阐发哲学和政治构想的榜样,对我国研究非洲政治哲学和促进中非交流有重要启示。

Abstract:

Wiredu consciously inherits and develops the Ghanaian philosophical tradition,making both deconstruction and reconstruction in African political philosophy. In terms of deconstruction,he proposes the conceptual decolonization and criticizes the use of Western concepts to tailor African traditional thought,so as to prevent Africans from misperceiving themselves. As for reconstruction,he advocates the reconstruction of African communalistic traditions so that they can respond to the current intellectual needs and political realities. He also expounds a vision of personhood with communalistic characteristics based on the Akan tradition. After reflecting on the shortcomings of political development in Africa in different periods after independence,he draws on traditional political practices to advance the idea of a non-partisan democracy by consensus. Despite its limits,Wiredu's practice of appropriating indigenous resources to elaborate philosophy and political ideas constitutes a benchmark in the contemporary African political philosophy,bringing inspirations to our research on this discipline as well as to the exchange between China and Africa.
