SUMMARY:2008 African Philosophy Conference
DTSTART:20081031T162500Z
DTEND:20081101T162500Z
DESCRIPTION:Reason\, Culture\, and Humanism\: The Philosophy of Kwasi 
 Wiredu\nUniversity of Louisville\, Louisville\, Kentucky\, USA\nOctobe
 r 31 - November 1\, 2008\n\n For over two decades now\, discussions in
  and on African philosophy have had as much and significant influence 
 on African Studies as it has contributed to new dimensions in the stud
 y of culture and in the discipline of philosophy more broadly.  The ac
 ademic endeavors have given African philosophy global recognition in m
 any academic fields.  At the center of these discussions has been the 
 relation between reason and culture\, a theme that intersects with Twe
 ntieth Century pluralists orientations and the emergence of a new huma
 nism in global contexts.  Many African scholars\, and philosophers esp
 ecially\, have contributed to these influences of African philosophy. 
  While the conference celebrates the philosophical career of Kwasi Wir
 edu\, it also offers an opportunity for scholars in African philosophy
  to revisit the contributions of African philosophy and other philosop
 hers to the growth of academic knowledge of Africa more broadly.
