Produktbeschreibung
The chapters traverse theoretical, narrative, and pedagogical terrains to illuminate how African philosophy can inform curricula, teaching, institutional transformation, and intellectual resistance. The work not only revisits key African philosophers such as Kwasi Wiredu, Paulin Hountondji, and Sophie Oluwole, but also integrates contemporary contributions like those of Blessing Chapfika. It offers a deep engagement with the contested genealogies of African philosophy and emphasizes narrative pedagogy as a mode of critical inquiry, identity formation, and ethical action.
The book contributes to decolonial and humanizing imperatives within African higher education and speaks directly to scholars, educators, and students who seek to reimagine the university as a space of justice, creativity, and collective becoming. Ultimately, it serves as both a theoretical intervention and a call to action – a text that lives through its enactment of the very philosophy it advances.
