Introduction to Africana Philosophy
This course is an introduction to philosophy by Africans and African diasporic peoples in the Americas, Europe and the Caribbean. It will trace the origins of African thought to ancient Egypt and Ethiopia, move to 19th- and 20th-century accounts of the terrors of slavery and colonization and approaches to liberation, and culminate in an exploration of contemporary Africana contributions to such fields as aesthetics, epistemology, existentialism, phenomenology, feminism and Marxism.
