Hailing from five different countries and writing in six different languages, the seven authors featured include some of the most prominent African philosophers of our time. They address a range of topics, including the nature of truth, different ways of conceiving time, the linguistic status of proverbs, how naming practices work, gender equality and inequality in traditional society, the relationship between language and thought, and the extent to which morality is universal or culturally variable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chike Jeffers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1438447442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438447445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Chike Jeffers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47419495219455,"sku":"9781438447445","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2aa8548d-5722-416e-a37c-cbb69e3517cf.jpg?v=1761511890","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/listening-to-ourselves-chike-jeffers-9781438447445","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
