商品描述

In answering the question of life's meaning, the African perspective is only just beginning to emerge. While this is true, a critical examination of African theories of meaningfulness, the possibility of life's meaninglessness, as well as ideas about the proper mode/mood for living with the meaninglessness of life are largely underexplored within the African philosophical tradition. This book provides several plausible accounts of meaning in/of life from an African perspective, examines the relationship between death and life's meaningfulness, and explores the possibility of life's meaninglessness, proposing the "philosophy of indifference" as the proper mode/mood for living with the meaninglessness of life.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

在回答生命意義的問題時,非洲的觀點才剛開始浮現。雖然這是事實,但對於非洲關於意義的理論、生命無意義的可能性,以及如何以適當的方式/心情來面對生命的無意義,這些在非洲哲學傳統中仍然大多未被深入探討。本書提供了幾個從非洲視角出發的生命意義的合理解釋,檢視死亡與生命意義之間的關係,並探討生命無意義的可能性,提出「冷漠哲學」作為面對生命無意義的適當方式/心情。
