Answer to Question #315608 in Philosophy for Wandie

Question

According to an African philosophy of Education, education emphasizes?

Answer 1

An African education philosophy emphasizes Ubuntu, which is described as African Humaneness and Interdependence (Waghid, 2014). Besides being a means for the promulgation of the philosophy of African education, Ubuntu empower Africans to achieve the democratic justice on his continent. Moreover, an African educational philosophy entails rationality, which is culture-dependent and it differs from the Western culture. As such, Waghid (2014) asserts that one could find rational ethos like the traditional folktales in the past African community. These folktales embody a critical thought that the Western culture understands differently in their notion of rationality.
