Abstract:
This text includes 25 readings from African thinkers such as Biko, Appiah, Wiredu, Sogolo Gyekye and Senghor. The readings are organized under seven headings: African culture; African epistemology; African metaphysics and religion; rationality and explanation in an African context; African political philosophy; African ethics; and African aesthetics. The book can be used as an introduction for students coming to African philosophy for the first time and and should be of interest to those studying literature, religion, anthropology and philosophy courses.
