Abstract

Abstract:This essay offers an interpretative analysis of Nigerian philosopher Adeshina Afolayan's thoughts on the postcolonial predicament and developmental challenges facing Africa and African philosophy. Through a close reading of Afolayan's philosophical oeuvre published between 2002 and 2020, the author offers interpretative insights on how Afolayan's thought can help Africans to address the ideational and developmental challenges facing them today. This work takes the reader into the heart of Afolayan's philosophical beliefs and assumptions that drive his scholarship. The essay names Afolayan's philosophy as demosophy, providing a survey of its terrain and subjecting it to critical evaluation. The essay brings Afolayan's thoughts into rigorous conversations with a broad range of African and Western philosophers.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Global South Studies focuses on the countries and peoples of the "global south," including those in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and parts of Oceania. The global south is not, however, synonymous with geographic locations in the southern hemisphere. That is, some of these countries and peoples are situated in the northern hemisphere. The journal solicits high-quality, academic papers on a broad range of issues and topics affecting these countries and peoples. Such papers may address questions involving politics, history, economics, culture, social organization, legal systems, agriculture, the environment, global institutions and systems, justice, and more. The journal aims to promote a wider and better understanding of our world and its peoples. The Journal of Global South Studies is the official journal of the Association of Global South Studies.
