African Philosophy and Environmental Conservation

Résumé

The book African Philosophy and Environmental Conservation comes at an appropriate time considering the current environmental crisis affecting the whole world as well as the lack of relevant literature articulating environmental and ethical issues from an African philosophical perspective. At the time of publication of this book, there was no single unified book addressing African environmental philosophy except for some essays contained in other titles on African ethics such as those by Ramose (1999), Imafidon and Bewaji (2014) and Murove (2009). This book is the first anthology on African environmental ethics consisting of 15 solid essays addressing fundamental issues on how environmental conservation could be meaningfully constructed in African philosophy.
