Emmanuel Ofuasia: Ìwà: The Process-Relational Dimension to African Metaphysics, Gebunden

Klappentext

This monograph approaches the subject of African metaphysics historically as it connects Ancient Egypt to Yoruba. It showcases African originality and approaches to studying reality, whilst resisting the temptation to deduce conclusions from Western philosophy.  It is the first book in the history of African philosophy to use a process-relational approach to interrogate African metaphysics. It also serves to harmonize and engage prominent African scholars that have written on the subject of African metaphysics.

The general scope of this book centers on engaging the history of distortion and misunderstanding of African metaphysics by providing the relevant and reliable process-relational background as well as an alternative trivalent logic system. Unless African metaphysics are understood from this perspective, it will remain powerless to overcome these misrepresentations.  It appeals to students and researchers internationally actively working in the fields of African philosophy, Intercultural African studies as well as process studies.
