This book highlights the specificities of African systems of thought through a wide range of issues on the history, branches and problems that animate the philosophical debates among African authors. The book uses the Competence-Based Approach to present lessons rooted in real-life situations in Africa. Since the African philosophy courses of most academic institutions were conceived with a "colonial mindset", the book provides the theoretical framework for the "decolonization" of the African mindset and African philosophy course content in academic institutions. The book also gives a precise and concise methodology for reading, understanding and critically analyzing passages in philosophy in general, and African philosophy in particular. Hence, the book is useful to teachers, novice philosophers, undergraduate students, graduates who wish to specialize in African philosophy, and scholars who wish to comparatively analyse African thought systems and other systems of thought across the globe.

Marcel Nyuysemo holds a PhD in philosophy from the University of Yaoundé 1, Cameroon, with specialization in epistemology and logic. He also holds a Higher Teachers' Diploma from the Higher Teachers' Training College of the same university. He has special interest in the specificities of African systems of thought and philosophy teaching methodologies. He has been teaching philosophy at Government Bilingual High School Jakiri, Cameroon, since 2011 and has been involved in research in philosophy since 2010. He is the author of five books: The Philosophy Essay Writer; Steps in Logic 3, 4 and 5; and The Textual Analyst. He is also the author of three scholarly articles: "Immanuel Kant's Moral Religion: A Solution to Contemporary Religious Servitude and Conflicts", "Seeking Divine Presence: The Moral Pathway", and "Questioning the Proliferation of Religious Denominations".
