The Ink of the Scholars

Více o knize

The book delves into four key philosophical topics relevant to contemporary African thought. It explores ontology in relation to African religions and aesthetics, the concept of time and its implications for development, and the reconstruction of intellectual history through orality and written traditions, particularly highlighting Timbuktu's significance. Additionally, it revisits political philosophy, specifically the notion of "African socialisms" and the evolution of the "African Charter of Human and Peoples' Rights." These discussions are essential for understanding African languages and translation.
