Muntuism An idea of person in contemporary african philosophy - Ezio Lorenzo Bono - L'harmattan - broché - Essai

The African culture is essentially ?personalistic? and rests upon three pillars: the Person, the Community and God. In this essay, which is dedicated to the trends of contemporary philosophy in Africa, such notions are summed up in the concept of ?Muntuism?, a term which was coined by the author from the word Muntu, which in the languages of Bantu origin means ?person?. (Ouvrage intégralement en anglais - Une analyse de la philosophie africaine contemporaine à partir de la notion autochtone de « Muntuism », que l'auteur définit en fonction de trois paramètres : la personne, la communauté et Dieu).
