It aims to spur discourse and understanding of how technology can be justly shaped for human advancement in Africa. Yamikani Ndasauka highlights the need to understand African conceptions of existence, ethics, and values as foundations for envisioning more humanistic technological applications. A historical contextualisation traces the layered origins of African technology philosophy in indigenous innovation, resistant adaptation of external systems, and creative fusion of endogenous and exogenous knowledge. The book develops African frameworks to assess and design technology in accord with human dignity and collective advancement. Yamikani Ndasauka is an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Malawi. 0aTechnologyxPhilosophy.968026 0aPhilosophy, African.973515 0aEthnologyxAfrica.966792 0aCulture.959159 0aArtificial intelligence.958441 0aSciencexSocial aspects.96903214aPhilosophy of Technology.96802724aAfrican Philosophy.97351724aAfrican Culture.96679324aArtificial Intelligence.95844124aScience and Technology Studies.9690332 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303162978508iPrinted edition:z978303162980808iPrinted edition:z978303162981540uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-62979-2  aZDB-2-REP  aZDB-2-SXPR  c61271d61271
