Abstract
In reading Pieter Duvenage’s Afrikaanse filosofie.
Perspektiewe en dialoë (2016) other texts came
to mind – Peter Vale, Lawrence Hamilton and
Estelle Prinsloo’s edited collection on Intellectual
traditions in South Africa (2014); Andrew Nash’s
2000 article on what he called ‘the new politics of
Afrikaans’; the majority and minority judgments
in the case of City of Tshwane vs Afriforum; an
article by Achille Mbembe on the decolonisation of
the university, to name a few. In my reflection on
Duvenage’s perspectives and dialogues I recall my
thoughts arising from these texts. I read his book
also within the context of ongoing calls for radical
transformation, decolonisation, and spatial and
epistemic justice.
