About the book

A demonstration that the analytical approach to philosophy predominant in the world today can both be applied to and derived from Africa's indigenous cultural heritage. The author achieves this via critiques of the viewpoints of several leading scholars who maintain that there is insignificant evidence of substantive political thought in the indigenous African cultural context. The text also uses the very same analytical approach to demonstrate that there is indisputable evidence of original and valuable philosophical enterprise in Africa's indigenous conceptual systems.
