"Utilise en Afrique du Sud pendant l'Apartheid par les prix Nobel de la paix Nelson Mandela et Desmond Tutu, le mot ubuntu désigne un idéal de société opposé à la ségrégation, instrument promouvant la réconciliation nationale. Une notion voisine des concepts occidentaux d'humanité et de fraternité. Popularisé par des intellectuels sud-africains, comme principe directeur de la "Commission Vérité et Réconciliation", instituée en 1995 pour assurer la liquidation de l'apartheid, le concept "Ubuntu" est depuis repris en compte dans des domaines aussi divers que la philosophie, la théologie, l'industrie numérique, le management, la sociologie politique... Issu de la famille des langues africaines dites bantu (ou bantoues), le terme "ubuntu" ne devrait être compris, selon l'auteur du livre, que dans l'univers de ces langues. Il revisite ainsi les données ethnologiques, à travers la linguistique et la philosophie, avant d'examiner la notion d'ubuntu dans la perspective sud-africaine de la théologie du pardon. L'étude passe également en revue les travaux des rhétoriciens français ayant évolué à l'Université de Cape Town en Afrique du Sud, examine le passage à la métaphore d'ubuntu comme système d'exploitation dans l'univers numérique, et comme stratégies de mise en place d'un leadership et d'un management enracinés dans la culture africaine. Professeur de Philosophie, en République Démocratique du Congo, l'auteur rend compte enfin de l'expérience du pays avec la "Révolution-pardon". Celle-ci a permis, en effet, une transition pacifique au lendemain de la chute de la Deuxième République (1997)."--Page 4 of cover.

"The underlying principle of this book is the African philosophy of Ubuntu, which acts as a guide for developing empathic products and services. The book makes the case that empathy is the key to any successful product and service design project because it enables designers to make wise design choices that align with users' demands. Fifteen chapters provide the latest industrial design developments, techniques, and processes explicitly targeting emerging economies. At the outset, it covers the design context and the philosophy of the Ubuntu approach, which places people and communities at the centre of the development agenda. The book covers new product development, design research, design cognition, digital and traditional prototyping, bringing products to the market, establishing a company's brand name, intellectual property rights, traditional knowledge, and the business case for design in Afrika. It concludes with a discussion about the future of design and the skills aspiring designers will need. African Industrial Design Practice: Perspectives on Ubuntu Philosophy will be an essential textbook for undergraduates, postgraduates, instructors, and beginner designers in emerging economies to provide regionally contextualised design processes, illustrated examples, and outcomes"--

“ This is an excellent and timely book … In the Spirit of Ubuntu: Stories of Teaching and Research represents a seminal educational intervention that should re-direct the way we see and interact with learning and pedagogical projects and relationships. The book is well organized, is written in non-alienating, humanist language, and should be very useful for students, researchers, and the general public. Students in the West, who are not familiar with the philosophy of ubuntu, should be exposed to the contents of this book.”—Ali A Abdi, in Alberta Journal of Educational Research, Vol. 58, No. 4.
