Communitarianism has been the dominant disposition of many African scholars towards ubuntu. The nature of the concept somewhat limits how one can theorise about ubuntu. However, I argue that there is still a lot more that can be harnessed from the ubuntu concept, especially as it pertains to the ontology of radical escape. I use radical escape as an ontological character of every human being whereby to exist is to escape. In this paper, I argue that ubuntu does not provide the possibility for radical escape. The nature of escape that ubuntu provides is limited to the confines of its communitarian outlook. In this paper, I bring on board the works of Mogobe Ramose, Thaddeus Metz, Kwame Gyekye, Emmanuel Levinas, and Thomas Lear, among others, to substantiate my position. I hope to demonstrate the need to accommodate the concept of radical escape in theorising about ubuntu.

Ubuntu 和 Radical Escape 的本体

社群主义一直是许多非洲学者对 ubuntu 的主要倾向。这个概念的本质在某种程度上限制了人们对 ubuntu 进行理论化的方式。但是,我认为 ubuntu 概念还有很多可以利用的东西,尤其是当它与激进逃逸的本体有关时。我使用激进的逃避作为每个人的本体论特征,生存就是逃避。在这篇论文中,我认为 ubuntu 没有提供彻底逃脱的可能性。ubuntu 提供的逃生性质仅限于其社区主义观点的范围。在本文中,我引用了 Mogobe Ramose、Thaddeus Metz、Kwame Gyekye、Emmanuel Levinas 和 Thomas Lear 等人的作品来证实我的立场。
