La profonda comprensione di Hountondji di ogni civiltà come necessariamente pluralistica, e spesso anche contraddittoria mentre si evolve, è semplicemente magistrale ... è una gemma preziosa di un libro per chiunque desideri riflettere sulla civiltà e sulla cultura. " In questa incisiva e originale esplorazione della natura e del futuro della filosofia africana, Paulin J. Hountondji attacca un mito reso popolare da etnofilosofi come Placide Tempels e Alexis Kagame secondo cui esiste una filosofia africana indigena e collettiva separata e distinta dalla tradizione filosofica occidentale. Hountondji sostiene che le manifestazioni ideologiche di questa visione che sottolineano l'unicità dell'esperienza africana sono reazioni protonazionaliste contro il colonialismo condotte, paradossalmente, nei termini del discorso colonialista. Hountondji sostiene che una vera filosofia africana deve assimilare e trascendere l'eredità teorica della filosofia occidentale e deve riflettere un rigoroso processo di indagine scientifica indipendente. Questa edizione è aggiornata con una nuova prefazione in cui Hountondji risponde ai suoi critici e chiarisce i malintesi sulla struttura concettuale del libro. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 0 $aFilosofia$yAfrica$2BNCF 676 $a199.6 700 1$aHOUNTONDJI,$bPaulin J.$f1942-$0519458 702 1$aEVANS,$bHenri 702 1$aREE,$bJonathan 702 1$aIRELE,$bAbiola 712 02$aAmerican Council of Learned Societies. 801 0$bcba$aIT$bcba$gREICAT 912 $a996402849003316 959 $aEB 969 $aER 996 $aAfrican philosophy$91031971 997 $aUNISA LEADER 02316oam 2200253z- 450 001 9910140466203321 005 20230913112557.0 010 $a1-62681-094-X 010 $a1-62681-066-4 035 $a(CKB)2670000000613045 035 $a(BIP)043592949 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000613045 100 $a20161031cuuuuuuuu -u- - 101 0 $aeng 200 10$aAt Any Cost 210 $cDiversion Books 215 $a1 online resource (296 p.) 330 8 $aFallon Hughes is like any young attorney suffering through her first year in a white-shoe Washington, D.C. firm: overworked, exhausted, and lacking a social life.She's also the daughter of the President-Elect of the United States.Tom Bishop is the Secret Service agent assigned to protect her. After losing his wife on 9/11, he is not prepared to find himself attracted to the sexy, smart protectee. The ethics questions alone are explosive and despite the red-hot tension between them, he will not risk his career or Fallon's reputation on a tryst that he is sure they will both regret.When Fallon receives a phone call from a frantic young man who tells her he has information regarding a grave national security threat, she agrees to meet him, but he never arrives. The next morning, she hears on the news that he jumped off the roof of a building and killed himself.Fallon suspects Antoine Campbell did not commit suicide and launches an investigation. Despite a growing sense of paranoia, Fallon is determined to prove Campbell was murdered. At first, Tom tries to dissuade Fallon from becoming involved, but as it becomes obvious this is a murder case, Tom and Fallon must expose the conspiracy in her father's administration before Fallon meets the same fate. And with the tension already sky-high between them, working this close together is surely going to get one of them to cross the line from a strictly professional relationship to intimately personal.Set against the backdrop of Washington, D.C., AT ANY COST sets up a smoldering romance as it takes readers into the super-secret world of the Secret Service, the NSA, and ultimately the most private reaches of the White House. 610 $aFiction 700 $aEllison$b Cara$01436641 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910140466203321 996 $aAt Any Cost$93595732 997 $aUNINA
