1. Anton Wilhelm Amo's Philosophical Dissertations On Mind And Body
A concise edition that translates and interprets two eighteenth-century dissertations in which a West African-born philosopher engaged early modern debates about mind and body, challenging Cartesian dualism by insisting that mental operations are closely tied to bodily organs and that many alleged immaterial powers belong to the living body; the volume combines faithful translations with philosophical and historical commentary that situates the works in Enlightenment disputes, examines their theological and methodological commitments, and highlights the wider significance of an often-overlooked African voice in European intellectual history.
