<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>This handbook investigates the current state and future possibilities of African Philosophy, as a discipline and as a practice, vis-à-vis the challenge of African development and Africa's place in a globalized, neoliberal capitalist economy. The volume offers a comprehensive survey of the philosophical enterprise in Africa, especially with reference to current discourses, arguments and new issues--feminism and gender, terrorism and fundamentalism, sexuality, development, identity, pedagogy and multidisciplinarity, etc.--that are significant for understanding how Africa can resume its arrested march towards decolonization and liberation. </p><p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Adeshina Afolayan </b>holds a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. He is the editor of <i>Auteuring Nollywood</i> (2014).</p><p><b> </b></p><p> </p><p><b>Toyin Falola </b>is the Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair Professor in the Humanities and a Distinguished Teaching Professor at the University of Texas at Austin. </p>
