A Short History of African Philosophy discusses major ideas,
figures, and schools of thought in philosophy in the African
context. While drawing out critical issues in the formation of
African philosophy, Barry Hallen focuses on recent scholarship and
relevant debates that have made African philosophy critical to
understanding the rich and complex cultural heritage of the
continent. This revised edition expands the historical perspective,
takes account of recent discoveries and new canonical figures,
highlights new discussions about gender as a cultural and
philosophical phenomenon, clarifies issues regarding indigenous
cultures and human rights, and builds on the notion that African
philosophy shares methods and concerns of philosophy worldwide.
This short reference is an essential resource for students,
scholars, and general readers.
