The Hermeneutics of African Philosophy - Horizon and Discourse (Paperback)

Post-colonial Africa provides the context for this exploration of a crucial yet neglected perspective in African philosophy. Tsenay Serequeberhan's critical reading of the philosophical insights of post-colonial African literature and examination of the self-understanding of the African liberation struggles allow a concrete development of the hermeneutic possibilities of African thought. His critical use of other insights from the European tradition of philosophical hermeneutics allows him to continue the work of Theophilius Okere and Okonda Okolo in developing an African philosophical hermeneutics.
In The Hermeneutics of African Philosophy, Serequeberhan shows how African philosophical hermeneutics overcomes the prolonged and stale debate between ethnophilosophy and professional philosophy over the nature of African philosophy, carefully demonstrating that the promise for this fast-growing area lies in the critical development of the African hermeneutical perspective.
