The Overcoming of the Particularist/Universalist Thesis in African Philosophy

There is a theme common to any philosophical investigation: the question of being, of being as such, ον η ον. Much of my argument can be put in the terms of the idea that the question of being is indeed permeated by a more radical question, namely the question of place. Questioning place means to investigate into the topos in which all human experience, practical or theoretical, has always come to pass. Yet what place is and how it ought to be understood in order to go beyond any narrow-minded debate on the particularism or universalism of philosophy is what is here in question.
