African scholars have demonstrated that precolonial African cultures generated ideas and arguments which were at once truly philosophical and distinctively African, and several contemporary African thinkers are now established figures in the philosophical mainstream.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYet, despite the universality of its themes, relevant contributions from African philosophy have rarely permeated global philosophical debates. Critical intellectual excavation has also tended to prioritize precolonial thought, overlooking more recent sources of home-grown philosophical thinking such as Africa's intellectually rich liberation movements.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book demonstrates the potential for constructive interchange between currents of thought from African philosophy and other intellectual currents within philosophy.
