Beyond Bantu Philosophy : Contextualizing Placide Tempels’s Initiative in African Thought Paperback / softback
Edited by Frans Dokman, Evaristi Magoti Cornelli
Part of the Studies in World Christianity and Interreligious Relations series
Paperback / softback
Description
Franciscan priest Placide Tempels’s 1946 book, Bantu Philosophy, introduced a new discourse about African thought and beliefs, questioning the universality of Western philosophy and establishing paradigms that continue to dominate discussion of the relationships between Africa and the West today.
More than 75 years after the publication of this influential text, this volume brings together a wide range of contributors to examine the legacy and impact of Tempels’s work for the study of African philosophy and religion.
Reflecting on whether Bantu Philosophy reinforces conflict or convergence between Africa and the West, and its reception within Africa, scholars from both African and Western institutions provide new perspectives on both Tempels’s ideas and ongoing debates in African philosophy and religion.
