‘The work presents a new approach in African political philosophy
which is grounded on personhood. One can decipher a fusion of moral and
communal frameworks in African political philosophy. The work is both
innovative and critical. (It) is an engagement with the works of
professional African philosophers (which) shows that we can build an
African political philosophy from the works of African philosophers,
past and current. The author brings in a new dimension, say modern
dimension, which is rights and duty based, to the understanding of
personhood in African philosophy as initiated by Mbiti and fully
espoused by Menkiti, Gyekye,Wiredu, Gbadegesin among others.’
