An Introduction to Human Rights in African Philosophy

Beschreibung

This is the first book to focus on the concept of human rights in African philosophy and the debates surrounding it. It provides its readers-from policymakers to scholars, from experts in human rights to experts in African philosophy-with a succinct, general guide on the key theorists, themes, and debates on human rights in African philosophy. This book thus offers the reader an alternative to the dominance of the Western perspective on human rights. It begins to make our conversations about human rights, social justice, and human dignity truly global and international.
