African Philosophy (UG) and (PG)

This is the study of African Philosophy, based on the assumption that African thought is fundamentally different from Western philosophy. This belief shows in the oppositions through which African philosophical thought has been defined and characterized: communal, collective thought has been opposed to Western philosophy's individual thinkers; emotionality to the West's analytical spirit; African concepts of time as circular and lacking a distant future dimension to the West's linear concept of time, etc.
