The African Conception of Time

Anthropologists hold that there is a direct link between a community's conception of time and how they see the physical and social worlds around them.

So what is the African conception of time? Does it affect how Africans view the world and social relationships, and therefore should it affect how we study, write, and teach African history?

In this lecture and conversation, we will explore the African conception of time; its grounding in cosmological, religious, mythical, and social time; how it has been affected by interactions with non-African conceptions of time, and what this all means for African history.

Join us for what promises to be an engaging and insightful saunter through this key area of enquiry in the philosophy of history.
