DESCRIPTION:<p>This special workshop on the nature and significance of Postcolonial African Philosophy is primarirly motivated by two recent publications. The first\,&nbsp\;<em>Ezumezu: A System of Logic for African Philosophy and Studies</em> (Springer 2019) by Jonathan O. Chimakonam PhD (Senior Lecturer\, University of Calabar\, Nigeria)\, articulates a novel system of logic known as 'Ezumezu' in African philosophy as a distinct tradition of academic philosophy. The second\, <em>Paulin Hountondji &ndash\; African Philosophy as Critical Universalism</em> (Palgrave Macmillan 2019) by Franziska D&uuml\;bgen PhD (Professor of Philosophy\, University of M&uuml\;nster\, Germany) and Stefan Skupien PhD (Postdoctoral Researcher\, WZB Berlin Social Science Center\, Germany) is a critical and systematic study of the works of Paulin Hountondji - one of the most influential authors in African philosophy. The workshop is designed to reflect on two broad questions:</p>\n<p>What is the nature and possible significance of Ezumezu as a system of logic in African philosophy?&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>What is the nature and possible significance of Paulin Hountondji's critical universalism in a pluralistic world?</p>\n<p><strong>Confirmed Speakers and Panelists:</strong></p>\n<p>Professor Uduma Oji Uduma PhD (Keynote Speaker)\, National Open University of Nigeria\, Abuja</p>\n<p>Mesembe Ita Edet PhD\, Associate Professor\, University of Calabar</p>\n<p>Charles N.
