Description for The African Philosophy Reader
Paperback. The African Philosophy Reader, Second Edition, brings together thirty-seven philosophers, thirty-three of whom are black Africans, representing the most current philosophical discussions on the African continent. Editor(s): Coetzee, P.H.; Roux, A. P.J. Num Pages: 686 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: HP. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 243 x 170 x 40. Weight in Grams: 1180.
Divided into eight sections, each with introductory essays, the selections offer rich and detailed insights into a diverse multinational philosophical landscape. Revealed in this pathbreaking work is the way in which traditional philosophical issues related to ethics, metaphysics, and epistemology, for instance, take on specific forms in Africa's postcolonial struggles. Much of its moral, political, and social philosophy is concerned with the turbulent processes of embracing modern identities while protecting ancient cultures.
