Thank you for sharing!
The GIP (Gesellschaft für interkulturelle Philosophie) is launching a new online lecture series. We very much invite all of you to join the monthly lectures and make this a forum for lively discussion!
The third GIP-lecture will be given on Tuesday, September 15 at 7pm German time (10am PST) by Prof. Dr. Mogobe Ramose, University of South Africa in Pretoria: „ubu-ntu: affirming the humanness of all human beings, sharing the bread from mother Earth“
The South African philosopher Mogobe Ramose wrote the standard work on Ubuntu philosophy: a vision of existence as a continuous stream in which everything is constantly searching for balance and is inseparably connected with everything else. This is true of human communities, but it also applies to various aspects of social life, such as politics, religion, economics, law, medicine, ecology, and globalization. This is an ‘ethic of coexistence’ in profound contrast with Western models and the radical individualization that characterizes capitalism.

Mogobe Ramose is Professor of Philosophy at the University of South Africa in Pretoria. He received his PhD in Philosophy from the University Leuven in Belgium in 1983. His time in Belgium was spent as a political refugee, having been exiled from South Africa during the regime of Apartheid. He returned to South Africa in 1996.
