Answer to Question #226808 in History for neo

Question

Do you agree with Mbembe’s criticism of Hegel? Explain why.

Answer 1

I disagree with Mbembe’s criticism of Hegel because it disregards the possible outcomes of successful recognition. With Mbembe's postcolony, liberatory politics are impossible to achieve. In his case studies, Mbembe establishes a distinct separation from scientific and empirical inquiry. African studies, ethnology, and political science, he believes, are all guilty of a lack of thought.
