Indigenizing Philosophy Through the Land
Autor Brian Burkharten Limba Engleză Paperback – sep 2019
Land is key to the operations of coloniality, but the power of the land is also the key anticolonial force that grounds Indigenous liberation. This work is an attempt to articulate the nature of land as a material, conceptual, and ontological foundation for Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and valuing. As a foundation of valuing, land forms the framework for a conceptualization of Indigenous environmental ethics as an anticolonial force for sovereign Indigenous futures. This text is an important contribution in the efforts to Indigenize Western philosophy, particularly in the context of settler colonialism in the United States. It breaks significant ground in articulating Indigenous ways of knowing and valuing to Western philosophy—not as artifact that Western philosophy can incorporate into its canon, but rather as a force of anticolonial Indigenous liberation. Ultimately, Indigenizing Philosophy through the Land shines light on a possible road for epistemically, ontologically, and morally sovereign Indigenous futures.

Recenzii
“'This guy knows stuff.'”—Iktomi (probably). In Indigenizing Philosophy through the Land, Brian Burkhart lets us know that locality is perhaps our one true universality and thus our redemptive future, reminds us that Iktomi is both inadvertent and purposive creator and destroyer, and shows us that Western philosophy isn’t the cogito it thinks it is. This work is a vital addition to understanding the oncoming Indigenous millennium. Highly recommended."

"This book is an exciting and timely interjection into the current trend within academia regarding projects that describe or prescribe methods and practices of decolonization and Indigenization. The most innovative aspect of this project is his articulation and development of the “trickster methodology.” This framework not only aids in the development of Native epistemology within the fields of Native Philosophy and Native Studies, it also introduces to the broader field of epistemology a frame through which to better understand the lived and living narrative epistemologies of Native and Indigenous peoples and other marginalized groups."

"Brian Burkhart offers us a decolonial Indigenous philosophy that brings thought, language, meaning, being, knowing, value, and ethics back to the land. With the help of Iktomi, the playful Lakota Spider Trickster, he shows how the principal puzzles persistently hobbling Western philosophical debates are actually trickster entanglements generated by overly abstract, delocalized thinking. The creative outcome of Burkhart’s efforts—Indigenizing Philosophy through the Land—is a stunning achievement that will have a profound and lasting impact upon contemporary academic philosophy, environmental ethics, decolonial studies, and Indigenous studies."
