Description
This book explores the profound and indispensable dialog between Philosophy and Literature, showing how these two forms of knowledge intertwine to reveal the great human questions. Through a thought-provoking analysis, the authors demonstrate that, in this relationship, while Philosophy seeks logical and conceptual answers, Literature translates them into narratives and metaphors that touch the soul, based on literariness.Starting with Ubuntu, the study investigates how African literature and philosophy, although silenced by colonialism, intersect in the struggle for recognition and identity, seeking political and economic autonomy, proposing writing as a weapon of liberation and memory, challenging colonial and capitalist visions of the "self".In the same vein, African philosophy deeply values art, training artists to communicate their people's motivations for progress and development through literature.Ideal for lovers of philosophy and literature, this book provokes the reader to rethink: Is Literature Philosophy made of flesh and blood, while Philosophy is Literature in its purest and most abstract form?
