Title: Metaphilosophy rather than philosophy
Product review: This book's essays talk ABOUT African philosophy; there is little philosophical "meat" to speak of. Nonetheless, the various authors engage in a lively debate about the nature and possibilities of African philosophy. Some of the issues raised are applicable in a wider scope, i.e. for philosophy in general. For example, is "philosophy" limited to "professional" philosophy? Does (or should) philosophy only consider universal problems (across time and location), or should it stem from more local concerns?
