Synopsis Mindly Twists and Turns by : Yusef Waghid

My familiarity with Professor Yusef Waghid’s scholarship and our collaboration span more than two decades. Therefore, a few words cannot appropriately encompass my account of the magnitude of his academic profile coupled with his personal qualities and engagement. He is a global thinker who has made significant contributions to scholarship in South Africa, the broader African world in the continent and the Diaspora, and the international community. Professor Waghid is an exceptionally prolific writer with consistent academic excellence on topics of critical importance to education and other social institutions, and the struggle for justice and social transformation. He has developed critical insights articulating the importance and necessity of epistemic equality with particular reference to indigenous knowledge system, especially uBuntu. He is a creative scholar with significant and original contributions to knowledge and transformative curriculum and pedagogy. As a public intellectual, he emulates a dialectical relationship between theory and social realities with a consistent engagement for equality and quality educational opportunity, and social progress. He is one of the foremost intellectuals hailing from South Africa with a global stature. In addition to his prominence as a scholar, Professor Waghid has personal and enviable qualities as reflected in his collegiality, trustworthiness, responsiveness, reliability, and unfailing compassion.

Synopsis Chronicles on African Philosophy of Higher Education by :

The central argument in this book revolves around the significance of an African philosophy of higher education. Such a philosophy is geared towards cultivating democratic iterations, co-belonging, and critique within human encounters. Together, these actions can enhance intellectual activism within and beyond the encounters. A philosophy of higher education is constituted by a philosophical act of reflexivity according to which (how), freedom (both autonomous and communal), cosmopolitanism (learning to live with differences and otherness), and caring with others (ubuntu) can be rhythmically practised. What makes an African philosophy of higher education distinctive and realisable is that practices ought to be based on iterations, co-belonging, and critique. If intellectual activism were not to become a major act of resistance on the basis of which educational, political, and societal dystopias can be undermined, such a philosophy of higher education would not have a real purpose. An African philosophy of higher education is an intellectually activist endeavour because of its concern to be oppositional to constraints in and about higher education. In conversation with such an understanding of this philosophy, contributors to this volume offer responses to why human freedom, cosmopolitanism, and caring with others (ubuntu) can be rhythmically enacted.
