Ifeanyi Menkiti's articulation of an African conception of
personhood-especially in "Person and Community in African
Traditional Thought" -has become very influential in African
philosophy. Menkiti on Community and Becoming a Person contributes
to the debate in African philosophy on personhood by engaging with
various aspects of Menkiti's account of person and community. The
contributors examine this account in relation to themes such as
individualism, communalism, rights, individual liberty, moral
agency, communal ethics, education, state and nation building,
elderhood and ancestorhood. Through these themes, this book, edited
by Edwin Etieyibo and Polycarp Ikuenobe, shows that Menkiti's
account of personhood in the context of community is both
fundamental and foundational to epistemological, metaphysical,
logical, ethical, legal, social and political issues in African
thought systems.
