520 | |a This essay indicates how the idea of African philosophy - specifically, African philosophy of religion - can both expose the ‘whiteness’ of the curriculum in undergraduate philosophy programmes and offer an expanded vision of philosophy. It first highlights the Eurocentric character of the curriculum in academic degree programmes such as philosophy in the UK and beyond. Thereafter, it considers the notion of African philosophy, particularly as this has been viewed by key western philosophers to be an impossibility. The essay then outlines how postcolonial, African scholars have sought to envisage African philosophy. It is argued that the attempt to seek a pure, authentically African philosophy (pace the proponents of the negritude movement and early ethnophilosophers) is misguided. It deals with ways in which an African philosophy of religion might be configured before ending with some brief comments on certain problems raised in the attempt to deliver an intercultural curriculum. | ||
