The book "Human Rights in African Religions and Philosophy" offers an in-depth analysis of human rights from an intercultural perspective, particularly in the context of African societies. It aims to create a space for academic discussions and research that address the legitimacy of human rights in Africa. By linking human rights with the historical and cultural experiences of the African population, it adopts an approach that enables people to appreciate and respect these rights. The book does not seek to redefine human rights but aims to anchor their universal validity within the cultural framework of Africa. It is regarded as a pioneering work that seeks to create a regional platform for the analysis and interpretation of African values in relation to international human rights standards.
