Excellent- More about Afrosofian Knowledge and Cheikh Anta Diop: Geo-ethical and Political Implications
Afrosofian Knowledge and Cheikh Anta Diop explore the cultural, epistemological, ethical, and geopolitical implications of our contemporary world, offering a novel semantic trove from the Greek to Afrikan terrain. François Ngoa Kodena argues that sofia is a psychological, discursive, social, and civilizational sickle sharpened to weed barbarism from private and public spheres. He undertakes an in-depth examination of Cheikh Anta Diops epistemology to uncover its threads connecting sofia to the Kemetic cosmic law of becoming called kheper, presenting a crucial dilemma for contemporary humanity: civilization or barbarism.

Afrosofian Knowledge and Cheikh Anta Diop: Geo-Ethical and Political Implications delves into the intricate cultural, epistemological, ethical, and geopolitical complexities of our contemporary world. This book presents fresh conceptual and dialogical frameworks that enable readers to explore alternative viewpoints on the axiological impasses of philosophia. A fascinating cultural transition from Greek to Afrikan terrain unveils a novel semantic treasure, namely sofia in the Beti Mvett. Consequently, sofia beckons for sofia, a trope for subjective and social "solarization." François Ngoa Kodena makes a compelling argument that sofia represents a psychological, discursive, social, and civilizational sickle that is constantly honed to weed out barbarism in its alienating, imperial-colonial, mental, linguistic, racist, and prejudicial overtones from both private and public spheres. Kodena's methodology is direct and trans-disciplinary, with a holistic ontological outlook that aims to heal and reconcile. After expounding an Afrosofian-Antadiopian paradigm, the author delves into an in-depth examination of Cheikh Anta Diop's epistemology to uncover the subtle underlying threads connecting sofia to the Kemetic cosmic law of becoming known as kheper. As a result, contemporary humanity finds itself at a pivotal crossroads: civilization or barbarism? The former informs earthly existential struggles and epistemic Afrosofian practices.
