The African culture is essentially 'personalistic' and rests upon three pillars: the Person, the Community and God. In this essay, which is dedicated to the trends of contemporary philosophy in Africa, such notions are summed up in the concept of 'Muntuism', a term which was coined by the author from the word Muntu, which in the languages of Bantu origin means 'person'. (Ouvrage intégralement en anglais - Une analyse de la philosophie africaine contemporaine à partir de la notion autochtone de « Muntuism », que l'auteur définit en fonction de trois paramètres : la personne, la communauté et Dieu).
