The book begins with the early years of educational attainment by African American philosophers in the 1860s and explores their impact on general problems in the discipline through four major areas of study: Axiology, Social Science, Philosophy of Religion, and Philosophy of Science. Personal narratives on individual philosophers and examinations of the work of figures such as H. T. Johnson, William D. Johnson, Joyce Mitchell Cooke, Adrian Piper, William R. Jones, Roy D. Morrison, Eugene C. Holmes, and William A. Banner challenge the myth that philosophy is exclusively a white academic discipline. Packed with examples of struggles and triumphs, this engaging introduction is a much-needed approach to studying philosophy today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 474g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 236 x 157 x 17 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350057951                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"StephenFerguson II,JohnMcClendon III","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094157750522,"sku":"9781350057951","price":20.81,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/7724906c7f7fe8fe22d83b3e22394e20.jpg?v=1626317189","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/african-american-philosophers-and-philosophy-an-introduction-to-the-history-concepts-and-contemporary-issues","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
