This handbook investigates the current state and future
possibilities of African Philosophy, as a discipline and as a
practice, vis-à-vis the challenge of African development and
Africa’s place in a globalized, neoliberal capitalist economy.
The volume offers a comprehensive survey of the philosophical
enterprise in Africa, especially with reference to current
discourses, arguments and new issues―feminism and gender,
terrorism and fundamentalism, sexuality, development, identity,
pedagogy and multidisciplinarity, etc.―that are significant for
understanding how Africa can resume its arrested march towards
decolonization and liberation.
