Download or read book African Religions & Philosophy written by John S. Mbiti and published by Heinemann. This book was released on 1990 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "African Religions and Philosophy" is a systematic study of the attitudes of mind and belief that have evolved in the many societies of Africa. In this second edition, Dr Mbiti has updated his material to include the involvement of women in religion, and the potential unity to be found in what was once thought to be a mass of quite separate religions. Mbiti adds a new dimension to the understanding of the history, thinking, and life throughout the African continent. Religion is approached from an African point of view but is as accessible to readers who belong to non-African societies as it is to those who have grown up in African nations. Since its first publication, this book has become acknowledged as the standard work in the field of study, and it is essential reading for anyone concerned with African religion, history, philosophy, anthropology or general African studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present work focuses on the major inquiries in philosophy of religion. This work is unique in its own way, in the sense that it introduces something new to the corpus of literature that is often referred to as philosophy of religion. It introduces themes in African philosophy of religion, which is an area not often referred to in African philosophy, let alone in textbooks in philosophy of religion. As this work opens a new aperture in the study of the philosophy of religion, it is hoped that it would generate further interest in the study of African philosophy of religion.

This collection brings together contributors from a wide range of disciplines to study John Samuel Mbiti as the father of contemporary African theology and grapple with questions Africans face in the twenty-first century.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author demonstrates the universal reality and sound logic of the efficacious existence of God's universal salvation and God's kingdom, beyond the confines of the traditional Apostolic Christian Church. God's universal Agape in creation is mediated through God's eternal Word (Logos-Christ). The creative and redemptive cosmic work of God in the Logos-Christ constitutes God's universal gratuitous process of creation and recreation or redemption. No human being or society is ever left out of this redemptive, universal free grace of God.

Book excerpt: In this volume, I present to the reader exciting articles that cut across different areas of the disciplines of African philosophy and studies. The first article by the famous Paulin Hountondji of the National University of Benin Republic took long coming. In over four decades, he pursued his goal of critiquing the practice and direction of African philosophy which climaxed in his famous 1983 book titled [African Philosophy: Myth and Reality], revised in 1996. Critics have descended on his conclusion that what is called African philosophy might just be a myth over the years. In his article in this issue, he responds in style. His opening statement says it all: "Let me straight from the beginning confess one thing: I am not happy with the phrase "African Philosophy" used to describe a subject-matter, a specific discipline in the university curriculum. Why? Because it seems to particularize a kind of intellectual production taking place in Africa and to deny its universal validity." Other contributors in this volume addressed topical and exciting issues in the discipline. The collection is worth reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his widely acclaimed survey, John Mbiti sheds light on the survival and prosperity of African Religion in different historical, geographical, sociological, cultural, and physical environments. He presents a constellation of African worldviews, beliefs in God, use of symbols, valued traditions, and practices that have taken root with African peoples throughout the vast continent. Mbiti’s accessible writing style sympathetically portrays how African Religion manifests itself in ritual, festival, healing, the human life cycle, and interplay with the mystical and invisible world. The account embraces foundational traditions, while touching on elements that spawn transitions, including migration, the spread of Christianity and Islam, political-economic development, and modern communication. This popular introduction leaves readers with informed knowledge of the riches of African heritage.

Gradually, its philosophical elements began to have serious implications for theological discourse, especially with the increasing need to do theology that arises from the philosophy of the African people. The present piece affirms the reality of the link between philosophy and theology, especially regarding the links between the great philosophical questions and the mysteries of salvation which are studied in theology under the guidance of the higher light of faith.

Book excerpt: Filosofia Theoretica Journal of African Philosophy, Culture and Religions is dedicated to the promotion of conversational orientation and publication of astute academic research in African Philosophy, Culture, History, Art, Literature, Science, Education and Religions.Our readers who have read the previous issues of this journal know exactly what to expect in this Volume 3 Number 2. Like we always say, Filosofia Theoretica has emerged as one of the vocal outlets for rigorous essays on African philosophy and sundry fields. Now, we encourage contemporary African philosophers to engage in critical discussions aimed at building an architectonic individual-based episteme for African philosophy in keeping with our founding principle of promoting and sustaining conversational African philosophy. This special issue is dedicated to the theme of postmodernism where African philosophy is presented as a postmodern resistance to the hegemony of Western philosophy.
