Description

Self and Community in a Changing World by D. A. Masolo explores fundamental questions about human existence, reframing indigenous knowledge as diversity. Masolo examines how our everyday experiences shape our understanding of the world and the boundaries between self and other, universal and particular, individual and community. The author's unique perspective extends African philosophy into new global directions, considering Africa's current political situation and the role of individual rights and freedoms. He offers solutions for containing socially destructive conduct by engaging community, providing a fresh approach to understanding our place within society. By revisiting traditional questions and applying them to contemporary issues, Masolo provides a thought-provoking analysis of what it means to be human in a changing world.
