O knihe

The debate on the existence of African philosophy has taken center stage in academic circles, and academics and researchers have tussled with various aspects of this subject. Though mindful of this fact, this book notes that the debate on the existence of African philosophy is no longer necessary. Instead, it urges scholars to demonstrate the different philosophies embedded in African philosophy. As such, this book explores one of the African philosophies namely African metaphysical epistemology with the hope to redirect the debate on African philosophy; to promote action rather than words in African scholars. It is different from usual African philosophy textbooks in that it articulates and systematizes metaphysical and epistemological issues in general, and in particular on Africa, that are of interest to philosophers, social anthropologists and anyone else interested in the subject. The book aptly shows how these issues make contact with the actual Africans' philosophy of life, traditional beliefs and practices and the challenges they raise for contemporary scholars and the African people in general.
