Decoloniality is an intellectual program aimed at rolling back the mechanisms of coloniality that made borders significant and, thus, weaponized them to the extent that physical borders translate to intellectual borders. Such borders created the false impression that philosophical insights cannot be gleaned from the African place and imposed Western philosophies in the curriculum of African universities instead. With the shift to reinstitute African philosophies in the classroom, it is imperative that African metaphysics and epistemology are discussed, as they are basic to other branches of African philosophy. African Metaphysics, Epistemology, and a New Logic: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a critical research book on decoloniality in which conversational thinking and Ezumezu logic drive the process. It highlights and discusses philosophical insights that have been produced from the African place and critically and creatively engages the philosophical ideas and thoughts of some established African philosophers in keeping with the canons and themes of conversational thinking. The central idea is that African philosophy has come of age and that the various branches of this philosophy need to be developed on the bases of a home-grown method and suitable background logic in order to achieve decoloniality. Featuring a wide range of topics such as conversational thinking, ontology, and knowledge theory, this book is ideal for academicians, philosophers, conflict-resolution professionals, sociologists, researchers, and students.
