Langage et authenticité de l'être humain : Une analyse de la crise du Muntu deFabien Eboussi Boulanga

Abstract

Language is the corner stone of schema elaboration theories that favours the development of people. These people developed from the main line of expression, for it was considered as the ultimate way of existence. Therefore, linguistics manipulations, ignorance and principal’s taxation are some aspects that disapprove Fabien Eboussi Boulaga. According to him, the Muntu cannot clarify his Being from a borrowed language that he ignores the motives. For this reason, he thinks that the Muntu’s language should result from his ontological and cultural attributes to build their existence. In other words, language is the expression of the originating force and the way each people see the world. It is the opposite of the free nature of people. This report is meant to show that a borrowed language makes of the Muntu a dominated and alienated Being, an abstraction in the sense that he denies himself to enjoy living as everybody. For that reason we must come back to our mother tongues which are the fundamental basis on which will come up the development of Africa. In that case ethnic group is the first set that determined the existential schema of the Muntu’s thought, that favours the contact with other people. Eboussi Boulaga would like to conquer the credibility of the thought and the way the Muntu sees the world, which is completely buried in his historical memory. He précises once more in one hand the direction which should take the original language of the Muntu for his liberation and concrete blossoming in order to open to the world as a co-author and co-actor of the universal and in the other hand the fundamental sense of the benefit that African people have to value their own cultures, their own and to see reliable ways for their certain and sustainable development.
