"La perspective décoloniale est aujourd'hui au cœur du débat public. Si son émergence est le fruit de dynamiques à la fois activistes et académiques, elle invite les chercheur·e·s en sciences sociales à relever le défi de la décolonisation des savoirs. Ce livre propose un "arrêt sur image" sur cette trajectoire dont l'émergence doit beaucoup à l'inspiration d'Achille Mbembe. Il permet aussi de saisir l'influence qu'exercent, sur nos façons de produire de la connaissance, non seulement les penseur·e·s et auteur·e·s racisé·e·s, mais également la mémoire, les témoignages et les luttes des femmes et des hommes ayant vécu et vivant encore les violences raciales. Entre études en développement (development studies) et études postcoloniales (postcolonial studies), un nouvel espace de pensée et d'action se dessine, qui est une invitation à traverser les frontières du savoir et du monde." --

This thesis explores the conditions and limitations of a theory of justice when challenged by questioning its political irenicism, both from a critical Western and an Afro-centric perspective. The methodological challenge is to consider the organization principles of a just socio-political order from a liberal approach to justice and to evaluate their implementation in the perspective of an ethic of good living with others. The initial expression of the limits of good living together in a democratic society, as defined by political theory, is ultimately based on a transcendental idealism that assumes a model of social unity which does not allow reflection to be grounded in real situations. The question remains to know whether we can still consider referencing reality as a limitation of the pursued ideal, like an obstacle or a deficiency, or if a different way of knowing is needed to shift the focus from the tension between idealism and realism to another way of understanding existence. In this case, it would be an ontology in tension between self-negation and re-existence, more characteristic of Afro-pessimistic or decolonial attempts, whose center of enunciation effectively makes it possible to shift the teleological approach to the good living together.
