Interregional Philosophical Dialogue between Africa and the Americas – “Africa and its Diaspora”
The conference will bring together philosophers from throughout Africa, its diasporas, and the Americas to address contemporary challenges.
It is organized in the framework of the celebration of the International Year for People of African Descent (2011) proclaimed by the UN General Assembly at its 64th session and benefits from ISESCO’s financial support.
The dialogue between philosophers from Africa and the Americas – North America, and Latin America and the Caribbean – around the theme “Africa and its Diaspora” is founded on a strong conviction: the very rich intercultural exchanges between the regions have given birth to a quintessence of intellectual wealth. Such wealth is embodied by the very valuable and insightful philosophical and theoretical debates on the meaning of “African Philosophy”, “African-American Philosophy” and “Caribbean/Latin Philosophy”.
