The Palgrave Handbook of African Philosophy de Adeshina Afolayan

The Palgrave Handbook of African Philosophy

Editat de Adeshina Afolayan, Toyin Falola
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 noi 2017
This handbook investigates the current state and future possibilities of African Philosophy, as a discipline and as a practice, vis-à-vis the challenge of African development and Africa’s place in a globalized, neoliberal capitalist economy. The volume offers a comprehensive survey of the philosophical enterprise in Africa, especially with reference to current discourses, arguments and new issues—feminism and gender, terrorism and fundamentalism, sexuality, development, identity, pedagogy and multidisciplinarity, etc.—that are significant for understanding how Africa can resume its arrested march towards decolonization and liberation.
