Sur La Philosophie Africaine by Paulin Hountondji
Critique de l'ethnophilosophie
"Sur La Philosophie Africaine" is a thought-provoking exploration of African philosophy by Paulin Hountondji.

Through his insightful analysis, Hountondji highlights the richness and complexity of African thought, making a compelling case for its recognition and inclusion in the global philosophical discourse.
