    Some Fundamentals of Conservation in South and West Africa.William Forbes, Kwame Badu Antwi-Boasiako & Ben Dixon - 2014 - Environmental Ethics 36 (1):5-30.
    Aldo Leopold’s draft essay “Some Fundamentals of Conservation in the Southwest” from 1923 shows that his initially expressed moral concerns were primary to his view of conservation. In addition, this early essay also challenged dominant perceptions of environmental degradation in the southwestern United States in the 1920s. For these reasons, it provides a framework for examining conservation as a moral issue in South and West Africa, especially in the nations of South Africa and Ghana, building on J. Baird Callicott’s summaries (...)

    Les Européens se jouent-ils à nouveau des Africains?Kwame Opoku & Elara Bertho - 2020 - Multitudes 78 (1):203-205.
    Les Européens semblent se jouer à nouveau des Africains, mais avec des armes différentes des fusils utilisés pendant conquêtes et colonisations. L’ambigüité entretenue autour du terme « restitution » par les musées européens, en particulier allemands et britanniques, en constitue un exemple frappant. Par restitution, ils entendent souvent prêts temporaires ou permanents d’objets d’art africains. Car, admettre la restitution définitive de ces objets revient à reconnaître la réalité des raids et pillages coloniaux ainsi que le génocide de certains peuples. Des (...)

  3. Tradition and Modernity: Philosophical Reflections on the African Experience.Kwame Gyekye - 1997 - New York, US: Oup Usa.
    Kwame Gyekye offers a philosophical interpretation and critical analysis of the African cultural experience in modern times. Critically employing Western political and philosophical concepts to clear, comparative advantage, Gyekye addresses a wide range of concrete problems afflicting postcolonial African states, such as ethnicity and nation-building, the relationship of tradition to modernity, the nature of political authority and political legitimation, political corruption, and the threat to traditional moral and social values, practices, and institutions in the wake of rapid social change.

    Did Jesus Consider His Death to be an Atoning Sacrifice?Daniel J. Antwi - 1991 - Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology 45 (1):17-28.
    The notion that Jesus' death is an atoning sacrifice is grounded in Jesus' own understanding of the temple and sacrificial cult in light of the dawn of the New Age.

    The Terms “Prima Intentio” and “Secunda Intentio” in Arabic Logic*Article author querygyekye k [Google Scholar].Kwame Gyekye - 1971 - Speculum 46 (1):32-38.
    The more passages one examines in the translations from Arabic to Latin and from Arabic to English and other modern languages, the more mistakes one comes across in the translation of the Arabic expression ‘alā al-qaṣd al-awwal . The mistakes stem from the failure to distinguish between two senses of the expression, one an adverb, and the other a famous philosophic concept. Failing to distinguish between the two senses, the translators translated the phrase literally, often with unsatisfactory results. In this (...)

    The Honor Code: How Moral Revolutions Happen.Kwame Anthony Appiah - 2010 - New York, NY: W. W. Norton & Company.
    K. Anthony Appiah, the author of the internationally best-selling Cosmopolitanism, analyzes what causes societies to end cruelty and injustices - such as slavery, foot binding, or honor killing. Can a government through its laws halt egregious violations of human decency and can mere moral instruction bring an end to human suffering? No, says Appiah, demonstrating how reform succeeds only when it enlists the primal human sense of honor. When it comes to morality, honor is the lever arm that connects what (...)

    Authente-Kente: enabling authentication for artisanal economies with deep learning.Kwame Porter Robinson, Ron Eglash, Audrey Bennett, Sansitha Nandakumar & Lionel Robert - 2021 - AI and Society 36 (1):369-379.
    The economy for artisanal products, such as Navajo rugs or Pashmina shawls are often threatened by mass-produced fakes. We propose the use of AI-based authentication as one part of a larger system that would replace extractive economies with generative circulation. In this case study we examine initial experiments towards the development of a cell phone-based authentication app for kente cloth in West Africa. We describe the context of weavers and cloth sales; an initial test of a machine learning algorithm for (...)

    As If: Idealization and Ideals.Kwame Anthony Appiah - 2017 - Cambridge, MA, USA: Harvard University Press.
    Idealization is a fundamental feature of human thought. We build simplified models in our scientific research and utopias in our political imaginations. Concepts like belief, desire, reason, and justice are bound up with idealizations and ideals. Life is a constant adjustment between the models we make and the realities we encounter. In idealizing, we proceed “as if” our representations were true, while knowing they are not. This is not a dangerous or distracting occupation, Kwame Anthony Appiah shows. Our best (...)

    Arabic Logic: Ibn Al-Tayyib on Porphyry's Eisagoge.Kwame Gyekye - 1979 - Albany, NY, USA: State University of New York Press.
    This translation of Ibn-al-Tayyib’s work on Porphyry’s Eisagoge brings to the English readers a significant book in Near Eastern logic that has been discussed and excerpted by major philosophers such as Tusi, Averroes, and Avicenna. It has also been the source of philosophical discussions on topics of logic by Boethius, Abelard, Ockham and others. Gyekye has clarified the Arabic link between Greek and Latin traditions with his translation, detailed explanations and text analysis of this 11th century philosopher’s commentary on the (...)

    Taking Development Seriously.Kwame Gyekye - 1994 - Journal of Applied Philosophy 11 (1):45-56.
    ABSTRACT In this paper I argue that the economistic conception of development which has all along been touted by development ‘experts’and which has been made the monolithic framework for understanding and tackling the problem of development, is lopsided and terribly inadequate. That conception, it seems to me, fails to come to grips with the complex nature of human society and culture. That complexity, I argue, calls for a comprehensive, not segmented, approach to the development of human society. I therefore argue (...)

    Noah Feldman’s elegant essay contains many attractive suggestions, especially in its final compelling discussions of various conceptions of Cosmopolitan Law. Less importantly for your purposes, dear Reader, than for mine, it also provides a fair and clear account of some of my own discussions of cosmopolitanism (in the course of which I have made a few suggestions that may be of relevance for the law). In this brief response, I should like to focus on clarifying one of the conceptual distinctions (...)
