Hamminga, Bert 2005 Poznań studies in the philosophy of the sciences and the humanities, 0303-8157 ( Serie ) Amsterdam ; New York : Rodopi 9789401202947 | BRILL9789401202947 Abstract

This volume compares the western ideas of knowledge with the African. It aims at creating a mirror through which the western knowledge culture can look at itself through an unusual and interesting angle. The culture of Sub-Saharan Africa is the substance from which we, in this book, have tried to construe an epistemological mirror.
