What will I learn?
You will build a comprehensive understanding of African philosophy across its major branches, including ontology, epistemology, ethics, political theory, aesthetics, and philosophy of language. You will study foundational thinkers such as Wiredu, Hountondji, Fanon, and Nyerere, and learn to analyse their arguments in historical and cultural context. You will examine how African philosophical traditions respond to colonialism, globalisation, and contemporary ethical challenges. You will also develop practical research and argumentation skills specific to cross-cultural philosophical inquiry. By the end, you will be equipped to contribute original, well-reasoned arguments to ongoing debates in African and global philosophy.
