AFST-293 : History of African Philosophy

This seminar examines the main ideas of key thinkers within the Africana philosophical tradition. It is structured around thematic units designed to give a foundational and advanced understanding of the development of Africana thought on a series of major philosophical topics: ontology, epistemology, race, gender, science, logic, monetary economics, and applied ethics, and the (in)commensurability of Africana and Western answers offered on these topics, and the multiplicity of methods employed in Africana philosophical thought.
