Book excerpt: A Short History of African Philosophy discusses major ideas, figures, and schools of thought in philosophy in the African context.

This revised edition expands the historical perspective, takes account of recent discoveries and new canonical figures, highlights new discussions about gender as a cultural and philosophical phenomenon, clarifies issues regarding indigenous cultures and human rights, and builds on the notion that African philosophy shares methods and concerns of philosophy worldwide.

Download or read book The Academy written by Cj Daly and published by Academy Saga. This book was released on 2019-07 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kate Connelly should be careful what she wishes for. Just seventeen, she already feels like she's suffocating. Since her mother's death, her father has basically checked out, so she's stuck raising her brothers by herself out in the New Mexico scrub. All Kate wants is a little distraction from the same-ole, same-ole that is her life. When two mysterious guys show up at the diner where she works, she thinks her wish has come true, until they start giving her a hard time. Like her life isn't hard enough. Something about them niggles her, but she brushes it off. She's never going to see them again anyway . . . right? Then they appear in an alley one night, to either rescue or kidnap her (she's still not sure which), before disappearing like figments of her imagination. Kate decides to put the bizarre encounters out of her mind. She has bigger problems to worry about: like that elite military academy that's been pursuing her gifted little brother. When one of their cadets shows up at school, he creates instant pandemonium. And just happens to be one of those mysterious guys. Coincidence? Mama said there's no such thing. And to always trust her instinct. But that might be kind of hard, because every time she's around Cadet Peter Davenport, her gut starts flip-flopping on her. And her heart. Can Kate keep it together long enough to stop Cadet Davenport's mission? She's about to find out. And-once again-how neatly life can be split into before and after.
Download or read book A Short History of British Colonial Policy written by Hugh Edward Egerton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume discusses a short history of British Colonial policy. With all its faults the book represents much reading and some thought. In writing what is, to some extent, a history of opinion, it has been impossible altogether to suppress my own individual opinions. I trust, however that I have not seemed to attach importance to them. In dealing with the later periods, I remembered Sir Walter Raleigh's remark on the fate which awaits the treatment of contemporary history; but obscurity may claim its compensations, and atleast I am not conscious of having written under the bias of personal or party prejudice.
