Question
Claude Sumner argued against Carlo Conti Rossini’s claim that two texts in this genre were written by the Italian missionary Giusto d’Urbino, rather than Ethiopian philosophers. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this genre of Ethiopian text whose name means “inquiry” in Ge’ez (“geh-ez”). Both Zera Yacob and his pupil Walda Haywat wrote texts of this type.
ANSWER: hatata
[10m] Yacob’s Hatata uses one of these scenarios to argue that God must have created Yacob’s earliest ancestors. In these scenarios, each justification in an argument depends on an endless series of justifications.
ANSWER: infinite regress [prompt on regress]
[10e] Yacob’s Hatata argued against this practice because “God made us equal, like brothers.” Aristotle’s doctrine of the “natural” form of this practice was attacked by many abolitionists.
ANSWER: slavery [or enslavement; accept natural slavery]
