Abstract

In recent years, different places in the world have witnessed demands for the decolonization of education. Nevertheless, it is not completely clear how this ought to be carried out. There are various factors that influence what such decolonization may entail, including the geographical place for decolonization and the discipline being decolonized. This requires a specific analysis of each context. In this article, I wish to make a proposal for how to carry out the decolonization of philosophy teaching at the university level in the African context, with a special focus on South Africa. I propose that more African philosophy be included in the curricula, as well as the integration of teaching and assessing methods that reflect African culture. Further, I argue that those seeking for decolonization ought to try to pursue it incrementally, given that it is the best strategy to achieve decolonization.

摘要

近年来，世界各地都出现了教育非殖民化的诉求。然而，目前尚不完全清楚应该如何执行此操作。有多种因素会影响这种非殖民化可能带来的影响，包括非殖民化的地理位置和被非殖民化的学科。这需要对每种情况进行具体分析。在这篇文章中，我想就如何在非洲背景下进行大学哲学教学的非殖民化提出建议，特别关注南非。我建议在课程中加入更多的非洲哲学，以及整合反映非洲文化的教学和评估方法。此外，我认为那些寻求非殖民化的人应该尝试渐进式地追求它，
