This article argues that greeting among the Kerebe is a
phenomenological project of everydayness in which the concept of being
manifests itself in a dialogic manner. This is revealed through the four variables
on which greetings are based: time, age, gender and relationship. The variables
give us a glimpse of how the Kerebe view the question of temporality of being,
the idea of being-for-the-other and the question of truth; and they cast some light
on the general concept of a person in Kerebe thought. The article is oriented
toward an inquiry into the concept of being-in-the-world from an African point of
view. |
