Produktbeschreibung
No people can grow under the exploitation of their enemies and friends, therefore Africa's growth cannot be achieved without an understanding of the world process of emergent probability and insight. Technology is the first level of operations, a good of order, and the texture of civilization that clearly depict emergent probability with respect to the recurrent schemes of human direct and inverse insights in relation to progress and its defensive cycles; biases, and perverse inverse insights in relation to decline and its social surd. This book, therefore, explores Lonergan's notion of emergent probability and the primacy of insight as information to illuminate an understanding of the historical processes of the wheel of progress and defensive cycles operative in the African context. Hence, creative appropriation, technological liberation, and cosmopolis constitute a viable solution to the "African Question," of human and technological development, and should be especially useful to philosophers, researchers, educators, governments and non-governmental agencies in African developmental fields, and anyone who is interested in authentic human development.
