本文部分是对Matolino和Kwiningwi的《Ubuntu的终结》和Metz的回应《Ubuntu的开始：对Matolino和Kwiningwi的回复》的回应，这两篇文章都发表在南非哲学杂志上。我的贡献还单独概述了任何Ubuntu理论家必须做出的最基本的概念性动作，以避免他们的文本的双重诱惑，要么是过时的民族哲学的当代变体，要么是对Ubuntu的非历史分析，仍然忽视了这个概念的历史性。乌本图经历了一段复杂的历史，首先是作为前殖民实践，然后是抽象的后殖民哲学建构，这一明显的事实要求后殖民理论家关注历史上决定了乌班图如何与各种霸权--即西方主导的理论话语--互动的认识论转变。
This article is in part a response to Matolino and Kwindingwi’s “The end of Ubuntu” and Metz’s response “Just the beginning for ubuntu: reply to Matolino and Kwindingwi”, both of which appeared in the South African Journal of Philosophy. My contribution also stands alone as an outline of the basic minimum of conceptual moves any Ubuntu theorist has to make in order for their text to avoid the twin seductions of being either a contemporary variant of an outdated ethnophilosophy, or an ahistorical analysis of Ubuntu that remains oblivious to the historicity of the concept. The obvious fact that Ubuntu has had a complicated history, first as pre-colonial praxis and then as abstract postcolonial philosophical construct, demands of the postcolonial theorist to pay attention to the epistemic shifts that have historically determined how Ubuntu interacted with various hegemonic, that is, Western-dominated, theoretical discourses.
