John Murungi

African Philosophical Currents

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book argues that Philosophy did not migrate to African from anywhere but that it is radically native to all communities.The chapters cover the erasure of African philosophy, African philosophical departures, the threat that Christianity has posed to African philosophy, African legal philosophy, African musical aesthetics and connections with classical philosophy. Arguing that the landscape of philosophy has a place not only for Africans but also for all human beings and that African philosophers are among the architects of this landscape, this book is an important read for scholars and students of African philosophy.
