The Nso' Concept of Time explores cosmology among the Nso' people
of north-western Cameroon. It examines the concept of time within
the Nso' world view, along with its implications for culture and
traditional religion. The author addresses a wide range of
metaphysical, ethical, anthropological, existential, and
epistemological issues not only in relation to wider African
philosophy, but also in relation to Western conceptions of time.
The book is an important new contribution to African philosophy,
cultural anthropology, African traditional religion, cosmology, and
African metaphysics. It will appeal to scholars and students in a
wide range of related disciplines. "This book is most certainly a
first in the study of the Nso concept of time. Remi Prospero Fonka
has excavated, carefully analyzed, and presented in readable form,
a complex metaphysics of time within the Nso worldview. Students
and researchers in African cultural studies, philosophy,
anthropology, and sociology will find this book a useful resource.
Those interested in comparative philosophy will also find in this
book a cross-cultural phenomenological confrontation with Western
cosmo-metaphysical models."-Nelson Shang, Lecturer of Philosophy,
The University of Bamenda and The Catholic University of Cameroon,
Bamenda "By highlighting the importance of always considering the
concept of time alongside aspects of the universe or cosmos, Remi
Prospero Fonka succinctly and with meticulous methodology, avails
the opportunity for an understanding of the measurement of African
time. The cross-cultural confrontations especially with
phenomenological existentialists makes this book a necessary tool
for students and researchers in multicultural studies, African
philosophy, cosmology, African traditional religion, and African
metaphysics."-Valentine Banfegha Ngalim, Associate Professor of
Philosophy, The University of Bamenda, Cameroon
