by building on an analysis of the way people talk. The author bases his investigation
on the belief that traditional African philosophy is hidden in expressions used in
ordinary language. As a result, he argues that people are engaging in a philosophical
activity when they use expressions such as taboos, proverbs, idioms, riddles, and
metaphors. The analysis investigates proverbs using the ordinary language approach
and Speech Act theory. Next, the author looks at taboos using counterfactual logic,
which studies the meaning of taboo expressions by departing from a consideration of
their structure and use. He argues that the study of these figurative expressions
using the counterfactual framework offers a particular understanding of African philosophy
and belief systems. The study also investigates issues of meaning and rationality
departing from a study on riddles, explores conceptual metaphors used in conceptualizing
the notion of politics in modern African political thought, and examines language
and marginalization of women and people with disabilities. The book differs from other
works in African philosophy in the sense that it does not claim that Africans have
a philosophy as is commonly done in most studies. Rather, it reflects and unfolds
philosophical elements in ordinary language use. The book also builds African Conception
of beauty and truth through the study of language."
