Rethinking Sage Philosophy: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on and
beyond H. Odera Oruka discusses a variety of aspects of Henry Odera
Oruka's sage philosophy project, rethinking it with a view to
current demands and recent debates in scholarship across several
disciplines. Edited by Kai Kresse and Oriare Nyarwath, the
collection engages perspectives and interests from within and
beyond African philosophy and African studies, including especially
anthropology, literature, postcolonial critique, and decolonial
scholarship. The chapters focus on: studies of women sages; sage
philosophy in relation to oral literature; an Acholi poem on 'being
human' in context; takes on aesthetics and gender in Maasai
thought; a comparative discussion of Oruka's and Gramsci's
approaches to the relevance of philosophy in society; a critical
review of method; a comparative discussion dedicated to the project
of decolonization, with a South African case study; and a
conceptual reconsideration of Oruka's understanding of sages,
presenting the 'pragmatic sage' as typical of the late phase of the
sage philosophy project.
