Between History and the Gods: Reason, Morality, and Politics in Today's Africa

What relationships can we discern, in the abstract, among philosophy, morality, and politics? What could such relationships across the abstract categories tell us about the forms of everyday political experiences in today's Africa? My goal is to explore the distinctions and interrelationships among reason, morality, and politics in modern African thought, with the aim of shedding light on sources of the conceptual confusions that often seem to becloud Africa's social and political projects.
