Following Foucault
0R385,00[This book] offers prospective readers the opportunity to assess the respective merits of a poststructuralist, archaeological/genealogical approach (Foucault’s) and that of a neo-pragmatist, hyper-Popperian, problem-solving critical realist, Howard Richards, who values the fact that Foucault was sensitive to the need to defend and empower ‘subjugated knowledges.’ – Bert Olivier, University of the Free State

Here is a Table
0R275,00Our understanding of racism is that it is the systematic doubt concerning the humanity of the other. It is a means to an end, namely, to pursue the dehumanisation of the other for oneOs sole and exclusive benefit. The doubt is in itself ethically indefensible. Yet, it ultimately acquires the status of an incontrovertible truth around which economic and political life is organised and conducted. This has been and continues to be the reality in South Africa today. The hypothesis of this book is that a philosophical-historical study of racism will reveal that it has only ever been and continues to be white supremacy. In South Africa the actuality of the doubt is that it has always arisen from one side (OwhitenessO) and directed itself against the other (OblacknessO).
Our purpose is to show that racism properly speaking is white supremacy and that it cannot be properly understood without African philosophy.

Subjects of Modernity
0R0,00“e;Dube ranges widely and globally – from histories of empires and genealogies of disciplines to recent Dalit artwork from India – to explore and carefully delineate a tension he regards as fundamental to the formation of the modern: the modern subject’s inevitable entanglement with those subject to modernity. A tour de force, this book offers a critical, timely and powerful sequel to postcolonial and subaltern studies.”e; – Dipesh Chakrabarty, University of Chicago

Tweede Refleksie
0R460,00Johan Degenaar word tereg beskou as een van die mees invloedryke Suid-Afrikaanse filosowe van sy generasie.
Oor die jare het hy sy studente geUnspireer en begelei tot die ontdekking van ‘n krities-denkende en selfstandige lewenshouding waardeur hulle lewens geraak, verander en verryk is.
As publieke intellektueel het hy oorspronklike, tydige en dikwels onverskrokke bydraes gelewer tot ‘n kritiese bevraagtekening van die heersende denke van die dag ? vanaf diskoerse oor die politiek tot godsdiens en die kunste.
