Africa, Asia, and the History of Philosophy: Racism in the Formation of the Philosophical Canon
Book •
Peter K.J.
Park's work examines how racialist and imperialist ideologies contributed to the marginalization of African and Asian philosophical traditions in Western academic philosophy.
The book analyzes historical episodes and intellectual currents that led to the construction of a narrow canon centered on Europe.
Park documents how supposed scientific racism provided 'justifications' for excluding non-Western thought from serious philosophical consideration.
By highlighting these historical factors, the study calls for a re-evaluation and more inclusive understanding of philosophical history.
The book contributes to contemporary debates on decolonizing curricula and recognizing global intellectual contributions.
