Some Unanswered Questions in Contemporary African Philosophy
Herausgeber: Chimakonam, Jonathan O.

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The story of African philosophy is surrounded by controversy. Decades after the "great debate" over its mere existence, many fundamental questions are left unanswered. This collection of essays by emerging African thinkers brings fresh insight to both old questions and new issues, bringing shape and direction to a hitherto formless discipline.
