The book offers fresh conceptual and dialogical frameworks that allow the reader to explore alternative perspectives on the axiological impasses of philosophia. A cultural slide from Greek to Afrikan terrain offers a novel semantic trove, namely sofia in the Beti Mvett. Therefore, sophia calls for sofia, the trope for subjective and social “solarization.” François Ngoa Kodena argues that sofia is a psychological, discursive, social, and civilizational sickle constantly sharpened to weed barbarism in its alienating, imperial-colonial, mental, linguistic, racist, and prejudicial overtones from private and public spheres. Kodena’s methodology is direct and trans-disciplinary; his overall ontological outlook is curative and conciliatory. After expounding an Afrosofian-Antadiopian paradigm, the author undertakes an in-depth examination of Cheikh Anta Diop’s epistemology to uncover its subtle underlying threads connecting sofia to the Kemetic cosmic law of becoming called kheper. Contemporary humanity is thus faced with a crucial dilemma: civilization or barbarism? The former informs earthly existential struggles and epistemic Afrosofian practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter I: For A Sofian Panafrikan Renaissance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter II: Toward the Afrosofian and Antadiopian Epistemic Paradigm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter III: Kara Olere: Up From Colonial Aliénation!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter IV: Zen: Afrosofia in The Antadiopian Mvettean and Scientific-Philosophic “Méthode Directe\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter V: Sofia: From Philosophia to Afrosofia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042004992343,"sku":"9781666909135","price":69.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781666909135.jpg?v=1750952585","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/afrosofian-knowledge-and-cheikh-anta-diop-geo-ethical-and-political-implications-9781666909135","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
