African Philosophy and Environmental Conservation (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Chimakonam, Jonathan

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book is about the unconcern for, and subjugation of, the environment by philosophy in Africa. The issue of environment is still very much neglected by governments, corporate bodies and academics in the sub-Saharan Africa. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Philosophy, African, Environmental and Gender Studies.
