Back Jacket
African philosophy under the specific conditions of a colonial and postcolonial world is - at least since the 20th century if not even earlier - inherently intercultural. The aim and target of the volume is to reveal, interrogate and analyse the intercultural dimension in African philosophy, and to critically interrogate the project of an intercultural philosophy from an African perspective. This volume is the first publication that explicitly discusses African philosophy as a challenge to the project of intercultural philosophy.
