From University to Pluriversity: The Restoration of the African Matrix
Is the modern university truly universal, or is it a "uni-versity" of a single perspective?
In this groundbreaking manifesto, Alphonse Mpeke (DEx) challenges the hegemony of Western-centric education and proposes a radical architectural shift in how we produce and validate knowledge. From University to Pluriversity is not just a critique of colonial education; it is a restorative roadmap for the African Matrix and a call for global cognitive justice.
The Vision of the Pluriversity
For centuries, the "Tree of Human Epistemology" has been pruned to favour a single branch of logic. Mpeke argues that for humanity to flourish, we must transition from the narrow confines of the University to the inclusive breadth of the Pluriversity-a space where diverse worldviews coexist, interact, and enrich one another as equals.
