African and Polynesian thinking are also covered by way of historical and contemporary survey articles. <p>The text is organized around a series of central topics concerning conceptions of reality and divinity, of causality, of truth, of the nature of rationality, of selfhood, of humankind and nature, of the good, of aesthetic values, and of social and political ideals.
