Description:

James H. Evans, Jr. The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to the major themes, methods, and motifs in African-American Philosophy. We will read selected texts in light of the Western philosophical tradition and attempt to critically assess the resources that these texts may provide for contemporary theological understanding. Special attention will be paid to the notion of "Africa" as a central concept and to the contribution of African-American philosophy to the development of African-American theology. Sessions will focus on thinkers, themes or both.
