  1. A Critique of Wiredu’s Project of Conceptual Decolonization of African Philosophy.Husein Inusah & Paa Kweku Quansah - 2023 - Philosophia Africana 22 (1):61-80.
    To liberate African philosophy from the remnants of the colonial style of thought, Kwesi Wiredu promotes the idea of the conceptual decolonization of African philosophy. He argues that, to accomplish this project, African philosophers must theorize in African vernaculars. This article attempts to show that the project of the conceptual decolonization of African philosophy by recourse to theorizing in African vernaculars is challenging. It examines a particular strategy that Wiredu deploys in “Conceptual Decolonization as an Imperative in Contemporary African Philosophy,” (...)

  • Epistemic Decolonization as Overcoming the Hermeneutical Injustice of Eurocentrism.Lerato Posholi - 2020 - Philosophical Papers 49 (2):279-304.
    This paper is broadly concerned with the question of what epistemic decolonization might involve. It is divided into two parts. The first part begins by explaining the specifically epistemic problem to which calls for epistemic decolonization respond. I suggest that calls for decolonization are motivated by a perceived epistemic crisis consisting in the inadequacy of the dominant Eurocentric paradigm to properly theorize our modern world. I then discuss two general proposals, radical and moderate, for what epistemic decolonization might involve. In (...)

  • Reformed theology and ‘decolonised’ identity. Finding a grammar for peaceful coexistence.Nico Vorster - 2018 - HTS Theological Studies 74 (4):1-9.
    Decolonisation discourse has gained significant momentum in South Africa with the rise of the various #MustFall movements that strive to rid South Africa of its colonial vestiges. But does South Africa need another national metanarrative that envisions an ideal South Africa and champions utopian social ideals? Following the logic of Johan Degenaar and Dirkie Smit, this contribution argues that we should refrain from developing social meta-narratives that seek to frame a single South African identity and social ethos. However, we do (...)

  • Wiredu on Conceptual Decolonisation.Dylan B. Futter - 2023 - Theoria: A Journal of Social and Political Theory 70 (175):24-41.
    Kwasi Wiredu defines conceptual decolonisation as an activity in which Africans divest themselves of undue colonial influences, but his descriptions of this process are either unrelated to divesting or work quite generally, and not in favour of an African point of view. Wiredu's approach to decolonisation appears to be largely indistinguishable from the business of philosophy.
