This is the first book to offer a systematic comparison of the philosophies of Albert Camus and Frantz Fanon. It shows how the ethical, political, and psychological outlooks of these two influential thinkers can further our understandings of how to bring about justice in the face of deep power imbalances.The author foregrounds the bloody Algerian War of Independence in his analysis of the philosophies of Camus and Fanon. Although neither supported French colonial occupation of Algeria, they held radically different views of the conflict. Fanon supported emancipation through violence, which the author argues has been uncritically romanticized. Camus, on the other hand, supported an ethics of moderation that shunned indiscriminate violence. The author argues that Camus has been unfairly accused of being an apologist for colonialism. Finally, the author draws out the common endorsement of humanist values that drive both Camus’ and Fanon’s thought.Camus and Fanon on the Algerian Question will appeal to scholars and advanced students interested in twentieth-century Continental philosophy, postcolonialism, existentialism, and African philosophy.

What does it mean to live freely—and how do education and ethics shape that possibility?Bringing together thinkers such as Dewey, Freire, Foucault, Midgley, and Rorty, this book argues that education and ethics are not separate ideas but two inseparable dimensions of what it means to practice freedom. Challenging the narrow view of education as simply knowledge transfer, the book shows that learning involves cultivating understanding, autonomy, critique, and the capacity to respond intelligently to changing circumstances. Pedro Tabensky explores how socialization both forms and deforms us, why belonging and meaning-making are intertwined, and how harmful modes of upbringing can corrupt our ability to flourish. Tabensky brings Dewey and other philosophers of education into new contexts, such as 21st-century South Africa, to demonstrate how the industrial model of education has been globalized—to the detriment of the students involved.At a time when mainstream educational practices often prioritise vocational skills over human development, The Practice of Freedom offers a powerful reminder that education is the very process through which we become conscious, responsible, and free. It calls for a renewed understanding of education as the cultivation of persons—individuals capable of critique, commitment, and continual self-transformation.

Being at ‘Home’ stimulates careful conversation about some of the most pressing issues facing higher education institutions in South Africa today – race, transformation and institutional culture.While there are many reasons to be despondent about the current state of affairs in the South African tertiary sector, this collection is intended as an invitation for the reader to see these problems as opportunities for rethinking the very idea of what it is to be a university in contemporary South Africa. It is also, more generally, an invitation for us to think about what it is that the intellectual project should ultimately be about, and to question certain prevalent trends that affect – or, perhaps, infect – the current global academic system. This book will be of interest to all those who are concerned about the state of the contemporary university, both in South Africa and beyond.
