The main aim of this book is to discuss fundamental developments on
the question of being in Western and African philosophy using
analytic metaphysics as a framework. It starts with the two
orthodox responses to the question of being, namely, the
subject-verb-object language view and the rheomodic language view.
In the first view, being is conceived through the analysis of
language structure, where it is represented by subjects
(particulars), objects, and relations (often universals). In the
second view, there are different variations; however, the common
idea is that the world's structure is revealed in the root verb of
terms. This suggests a holistic and dynamic conception of being,
where everything is in a continuous process of action. The book
builds on analytic philosophy and explores metaphysical concepts
such as space-time, modality, causation, indeterminism versus
determinism, and mind and body. The book shows that in both Western
and African thought, (i) similarities in different studies confirm
that philosophy is a universal activity, (ii) differences within a
context and beyond confirm the perspectival nature of human
knowledge as individuals attempt to interpret reality, and (iii)
language influences the conceptualization of being in a particular
area. One of the novel aspects is the development of visual and
mathematical African models of space and time.
