J.B. Danquah

The Akan Doctrine of God

A Fragment of Gold Coast Ethics and Religion

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

First Published in 1968. Danquah's desire with this title is to expound Akan thought in such a way as to make it comprehensible to western thinkers and to demonstrate that it is comparable to their system. In pursuance of this objective, he calls forth his philosophical training and indulges in metaphysical and ethical speculation. The effects of this are evident in the whole book, whether in his discussion of the nature of the supreme Being or in his exposition of Akan ethical thought.

post This postscript was originally the "Introduction" to the larger work, "Gold Coast Ethics and Religion," Parts I and II of which have now perished, and are beyond recovery. It is justly called a postscript because, like all genuine "Introductions," it was written after the text of the work had been completed
