- Abstract
Keywords: African philosophy EN African philosophy 237 242 6 04/28/22 20220401 NES 220401 I love the endings of books. Once a philosophy has been found and explicated that adequately checks the boxes of really being philosophy and really being African, we think we have African philosophy, and this stands as an answer to the dismissive Western traditions that have believed Africa is not capable of having a philosophy. This has been a reconstructed path through Jackson's book, one that moves the discussion to focus on how philosophy might proceed, rather than on what literature might be able to use from philosophy.
