Contemporary African Social and Political Philosophy

Trends, Debates and Challenges

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores what constitutes contemporary African social and political philosophy with regard to its meaning, aims, sources, and relevance for today's Africa. Kasanda denounces conventional approaches considering this philosophy either as a sub-category of general philosophy, or as an ideological attempt of individual African leaders and professional philosophers, such as Nkrumah, Nyerere, Senghor, Fanon, Hountondji and Towa. On the contrary, the Kasanda defines contemporary African social and political philosophy as an inclusive reflection of African communities with regard to power, equitable modes of social and political organization in order to promote human excellence for everyone.
