Outside the Canon: My Reading of Ramose's "The Struggle for Reason in Africa" An Introduction to a Philosopher You've Probably Never Encountered

Most of us learned philosophy as a Western story. Ever wonder why other voices are missing from the conversation? I came across Ramose's essay which argues it wasn't an accident. I wrote up my reading of it.

The book cover of Yorùbá Metaphysics: Spirituality and Supernaturality by Toyin Falola is set against a background of deep red leaves. The cover design features a dark slate background with a central illustration: a split-face portrait rendered in abstract, colorful lines, showing two different halves of a person. At the top, an orange label reads “AFRICAN RELIGIONS / SOCIAL REALITIES.” The PIR logo appears in a yellow-orange circle in the bottom right corner, partially overlapping the book.

A promotional image with a dark red background featuring overlapping leaves in shadow. At the center, white text reads: “Yorùbá Metaphysics” with the subtitle Spirituality and Supernaturality, followed by the author’s name, by Toyin Falola. Above the title, a yellow-orange circular PIR logo is accompanied by the text “NEW TITLE OFFERING” in small caps.

Philosophy is not only Western. Toyin Falola’s 'Yorùbá Metaphysics' examines core metaphysical concepts through the lens of Yoruba cosmology and thought. Want to review it? Contact pir@uvic.ca. #AfricanPhilosophy
