Mugalu, Joachim: Philosophy, Oral Tradition and Africanistics
A survey of the aesthetic and cultural aspects of myth, with a case-study of the "Story of Kintu" from Buganda (Uganda), as a contribution to the philosophical investigations in oral traditions. Oral traditions constitute one of the central items within the philosophical investigations in Africa. The spectrum of the oral traditions covers fields such as customs, rituals, religious beliefs, oral narratives, etc. The 'Story of Kintu' from Buganda (Uganda) is a typical narrative whose texture reflects these various dimensions. The study here presents a hermeneutical analysis of this oral-narrative-text, as a contribution to the current discourse concerning the constitution and nature of African philosophy. 226 Seiten, broschiert (Europäische Hochschulschriften. Reihe XX: Philosophie; Vol. 460/Peter Lang Verlag 1995) Mängelexemplar
