Description

Book Synopsis
With detailed analysis and thorough research, this challenges the central idea of Hegel’s philosophy of history – progress. In also provides a fascinating critique of the Western philosopher’s rationalization of the gradual decline suffered by the people of the Third World in the context of modern world history.

Trade Review
This is a remarkable book. . . . a powerful cri de coeur that is based on a serious reading of Hegel. It may open up the debate because, unlike so many anti-Eurocentric presentations, it does not fall prey to a simple upside-down reading of either modern philosophy or world history. Tibebu’s response to Hegel’s Eurocentrism and especially his calumnies about Africa is certain to generate heated discussion. This provocative book joins the growing list of books that help to challenge the one-sided picture that still dominates philosophy in the West.
