This first-ever Dictionary of African Philosophy emerges from a long-awaited intellectual journey—one grounded in the Great Debate of the 1970s–80s and validated by thinkers across and beyond the continent. Born of an international UNESCO-associated project, it answers the call for multiculturalism and the recognition of diverse epistemologies in the postmodern world, restoring balance in a global landscape where ideas must flow not only from centres to peripheries, but also the other way around.
