Abstract

Diving into the life of the Ropical coral reefs and Amadou Hampâté Ba’s reflections on the person conjoin in this work, which is at once philosophical and poetic. The permeable parameters of philosophy, which enable thought to hover between unstable contours rather than to prioritize secure foundations, open to a porous imagination, Racing and reRacing panoramic geographies and contemporary tensions of globalization and development.
