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.
