Beauty in African Thought: Critical Perspectives on the Western Idea of Development (African Philosophy: Critical Perspectives and Global Dialogue)

Beauty in African Thought: Critical Perspectives on the Western Idea of Development (African Philosophy: Critical Perspectives and Global Dialogue)

Beauty in African A Critique of the Western Idea of Development investigates how the concept of beauty in African philosophy and related qualitative social sciences may contribute to a richer intercultural exchange on the idea of development. While working within frameworks created in post-colonial and arguably neo-colonial times, African thinkers have reacted against the mainstream view that restricts the meaning and scope of good development to economic growth and western-style education. These thinkers have worked toward a critical self-understanding of the potentials inherent in cultural, spiritual, and political traditions since pre-colonial times. Edited by Bolaji Bateye, Mahmoud Masaeli, Louise Müller, and Angela Roothaan, this collection explores branches of thought from wisdom or oral traditions to political thought and philosophy of culture. This book is urgent reading material for any policy maker, scholar, or student wishing to attend to the voices of African thinkers who search for alternative approaches to global questions of development in a time of climate change and increasing socio-economic inequality.
