Hallen,Barry. — African philosophy. The analytic approach.

Trenton, NJ, Africa World Press, [2006]. VIII,361 pp. Orig. hardcover (boards). 8vo. [ISBN: 9781592213696].The author's aim in this volume is to demonstrate that the analytical approach to philosophy, so prominent worldwide today, can both be applied to and derived from Africa's indigenous cultural heritage. He achieves this by critiquing the positions of several prominent scholars who, for various reasons, argue that there is little evidence of substantive philosophical thought within the indigenous African cultural context.
