Las mentiras que nos unen.
No full textEl filósofo Kwame Anthony Appiah, ghanés de madre inglesa, profesor en Princeton, comparte algunos ideas con Fukuyama en su libro Las mentiras que nos unen, aunque con un enfoque más amplio, él se remonta a las epístolas de San Pablo, la filosofía árabe medieval, el clásico de Michael Young The rise of meritocracy, o el caso del ghanés del siglo XVIII Anton Wilhelm Amo, enviado de niño de África a Europa, donde llegó a ser un conocido filósofo
Appiah e o cosmopolitismo
No full textEsta é uma resenha da obra de Kwame Anthony Appiah "Cosmopolitismo – Ética num mundo de estranhos". Trad. A. C. Fonseca. [Portugal]: Pbs. Europa-América, 2008. (176 p.). O premiado filósofo de origem ganense Kwame A. Appiah publicou nas últimas décadas uma série de textos em que aborda o tema do cosmopolitismo, apresentando uma concepção sobre o assunto bastante distante daquela presente nos textos de fundamentação kantiana, dentre os quais deve-se dar a devida importância ao livro Cosmopolitismo (2006), que analiso aqui capítulo a capítulo
Interoperable services based on activity monitoring in ambient assisted living environments
No full textAmbient Assisted Living (AAL) is considered as the main technological solution that will enable the aged and people in recovery to maintain their independence and a consequent high quality of life for a longer period of time than would otherwise be the case. This goal is achieved by monitoring human’s activities and deploying the appropriate collection of services to set environmental features and satisfy user preferences in a given context. However, both human monitoring and services deployment are particularly hard to accomplish due to the uncertainty and ambiguity characterising human actions, and heterogeneity of hardware devices composed in an AAL system. This research addresses both the aforementioned challenges by introducing 1) an innovative system, based on Self Organising Feature Map (SOFM), for automatically classifying the resting location of a moving object in an indoor environment and 2) a strategy able to generate context-aware based Fuzzy Markup Language (FML) services in order to maximize the users’ comfort and hardware interoperability level. The overall system runs on a distributed embedded platform with a specialised ceiling- mounted video sensor for intelligent activity monitoring. The system has the ability to learn resting locations, to measure overall activity levels, to detect specific events such as potential falls and to deploy the right sequence of fuzzy services modelled through FML for supporting people in that particular context. Experimental results show less than 20% classification error in monitoring human activities and providing the right set of services, showing the robustness of our approach over others in literature with minimal power consumption
Jemisimiham Jehu Appiah
No full textIn the Gold Coast, now Ghana, J.W.E. Appiah, a teacher-catechist, left the missionary-founded Methodist Church for opposing his Afrocentric healing and preaching activities and founded the Musama Disco Christo Church in the 1920s. He then took on the prophetic name Jemisimiham Jehu Appiah. He wrote his philosophies to validate an Afrocentric church in the indigenous Fante language. His Church, an African anti-colonialist/anti-colonial establishment, is alive; yet his untranslated writings have remained in obscurity. This study provides a biographical view of Appiah. It translates his writings and interrogates their inner logic as liberation theology that rationalised the salvaging of certain indigenous mores through Afrocentric Christianity to promote a Black Nationalist cultural awareness.</jats:p

Language Identity as Social Identity: A Theoretical Approach to the Role Language and Languages Play in Making a Life
No full textMy thesis expands on the work of Charles Taylor and K. Anthony Appiah on the role that social
identities (e.g. identities based on gender or race ) play in making an authentic life, by arguing for the existence of a "language identity," as something that could itself mediate social interactions
