African mind, culture, and technologyphilosophical perspectives /[electronic resource] :by Yamikani Ndasauka. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2024. - xi, 185 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1: Why African Philosophy of Technology? -- Chapter 2: Historical Origins of Technology in Africa -- Chapter 3: Decoding the Digital Revolution -- Chapter 4: Technologising Tradition or Traditionalising Technology? -- Chapter 5: Rethinking Technology Through African Philosophy -- Chapter 6: An African Social Constructivism of Technology -- Chapter 7: Harmonising Technology and Humanity through Ubuntu -- Chapter 8: The Spirits in the Machine -- Chapter 9: African Philosophy and the Quest for Just Technologies.

This book provides a philosophical investigation of technology in Africa, articulating conceptual foundations and analyses rooted in African worldviews and communitarian values. It aims to spur discourse and understanding of how technology can be justly shaped for human advancement in Africa. Yamikani Ndasauka highlights the need to understand African conceptions of existence, ethics, and values as foundations for envisioning more humanistic technological applications. A historical contextualisation traces the layered origins of African technology philosophy in indigenous innovation, resistant adaptation of external systems, and creative fusion of endogenous and exogenous knowledge. The book develops African frameworks to assess and design technology in accord with human dignity and collective advancement. Yamikani Ndasauka is an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Malawi.
