In this issue, we explore the subject of philosophy in Africa with Dr. Anke Graneß from the University of Hildesheim. Dr. Graneß is a specialist in the Global Historiography of Philosophy and the philosophical traditions of Africa. Her latest achievement is the groundbreaking book titled Philosophie in Afrika. Herausforderungen einer globalen Philosophiegeschichte (Suhrkamp 2023) which delves into a diverse array of themes related to philosophical thought on the African continent. In her book, Dr. Graneß explores various aspects of African thought and its representation in both Western and African histories of philosophy. The book covers a broad range of historical, geographical, and cultural contexts, including Ancient Egypt, Ethiopia, Early Christianity, the Islamic world, and sub-Saharan Africa. By examining these distinct yet intertwined regions, Dr. Graneß sheds light on the philosophical perspectives that have emerged throughout the continent’s history.
