Bell introduces readers to the complexity of Africa, the legacy of colonialism, the challenges of post-independence Africa and other developments. He also discusses the concepts of negritude, African socialism and race.
Understanding African Philosophy serves as a critical guide to some of the most important issues in modern African philosophy. Richard Bell introduces readers to the complexity of Africa, the legacy of colonialism, the challenges of post independence Africa, and other recent developments in African Philosophy. Chapters discuss the value of African oral and written texts for philosophy, concepts of negritude, African socialism, and race, as well as current discussions in international development ethics connected to poverty and human suffering. Two chapters are focused on moral issues related to community, justice, and civic responsibility. Bell''s sensitivity to and engagement with the complications of cross-cultural understandings help non-African readers connect with African culture and thought.
