Caught between the history of exclusion and the reality of the
world philosophies approach, this is an introduction to African
philosophy unlike any other. With distinctive insight Pascah
Mungwini brings together African philosophy and the emancipative
mission, introducing African thought as a practice defined by its
own history and priority questions while always in dialogue with
the world. He charts the controversies and contestations around the
contemporary practice of philosophy as an academic enterprise in
Africa, examining some of philosophy's most serious mistakes,
omissions, and failures. Covering the history of African
philosophy's development and trajectory, Mungwini's introduction
focuses on the struggle for intellectual liberation. His compelling
portrayal reveals that true liberation begins by understanding
one's own world, an essential point for anyone beginning to explore
another philosophical tradition on its own terms.
