African Philosophy: A Pragmatic Approach to African Problems

Africa is being devastated by development challenges. To offer an effective solution to the problems bedeviling the continent, African philosophy has to be pragmatic. This is particularly important since the African people are pragmatic in nature. African philosophers ought to reflect on the spiritual, material, language, social behavior, the morality etc. of the people and come out with practical solutions that would lead to the development of the African nations. By doing this they would be making contributions not only to the growth of philosophy but also to the development of the world in general. This book is an attempt by the contributors to make African philosophy achieve these ideals.
