Paperback. Condition: New. What can philosophy contribute to African culture? What can it draw from it? Could there be a truly African philosophy that goes beyond traditional folk thought? Kwasi Wiredu tries in these essays to define and demonstrate a role for contemporary African philosophers which is distinctive but by no means parochial. He shows how they can assimilate the advances of analytical philosophy and apply them to the general social and intellectual changes associated with 'modernisation' and the transition to new national identities. But we see too how they can exploit traditional resources and test the assumptions of Western philosophy against the intimations of their own language and culture. The volume as a whole presents some of the best non-technical work of a distinguished African philosopher, of importance equally to professional philosophers and to those with a more general interest in contemporary African thought and culture.…

Condition: Very Good. : En este libro, el filósofo ghanés Kwasi Wiredu aborda la paradoja de que, mientras las culturas occidentales retroceden ante las afirmaciones de universalidad, los pueblos previamente colonizados, que buscan redefinir sus identidades, insisten en particularidades culturales. Wiredu afirma que los universales, concebidos correctamente sobre la base de nuestra identidad biológica común, no son incompatibles con las particularidades culturales y, de hecho, son lo que hace posible la comunicación intercultural. Basándose en aspectos del pensamiento akan que parecen divergir de las concepciones occidentales en las áreas de la ética y la metafísica, Wiredu pide una reevaluación justa de estas disparidades, libre de patrones de pensamiento corrompidos por una mentalidad colonial. La exposición de Wiredu de los principios de la filosofía tradicional africana no es puramente teórica; muestra cómo ciertos aspectos del pensamiento político africano pueden aplicarse a la resolución práctica de algunos de los problemas más apremiantes de África.
