Understanding African Philosophy: A Cross-cultural Approach to Classical and Contemporary Issues: Philosophy and the Human Situation

Autor Richard H. Bell
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 apr 2002
Understanding African Philosophy serves as a critical guide to some of the most important issues in modern African philosophy. Richard Bell introduces readers to the complexity of Africa, the legacy of colonialism, the challenges of post independence Africa, and other recent developments in African Philosophy. Chapters discuss the value of African oral and written texts for philosophy, concepts of negritude, African socialism, and race, as well as current discussions in international development ethics connected to poverty and human suffering. Two chapters are focused on moral issues related to community, justice, and civic responsibility. Bell's sensitivity to and engagement with the complications of cross-cultural understandings help non-African readers connect with African culture and thought.

Recenzii

"...this philosophy has substance, is collegial, is modest and above all is wise...Splendid! A book to think with!" -- Malcolm Ruel, recently retired from Cambridge University
"Understanding African Philosophy is a fluid, scholarly work with postmodern appeal to young researchers in African philosophy." -- Muyiwa Falaiye and Oscar Odiboh
"For Bell, 'cross-cultural understanding' is itself an interdisciplinary project that draws on different disciplines in order to position the reader 'to see' and 'to understand' the other's world. Bell deserves credit for his appreciation of this requirement and for bringing it to our attention." -- Segun Gbadegesin, Howard University/ Signs
