This insightful book is the first edited book volume in the literature to concern itself, primarily, with the question of life’s meaning from the, largely under-explored, African perspective.

In this collection, the authors have undertaken to answer this question, and other related questions, by showing some of the possible conceptions of life’s meaning that can be derived from traditional African perspectives.

African Perspectives to the Question of Life's Meaning will be a key resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of philosophy, African studies, psychology, and religion. This book was originally published as a special issue of South African Journal of Philosophy.

Aribiah D. Attoe is Lecturer at the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa and a member of the prestigious Conversational School of Philosophy. His interests include: African Metaphysics, Philosophy of Religion, Ethics, and Social and Political Philosophy. He is currently working on his forthcoming book The Question of Life’s Meaning: An African Perspective.
