Ato Sekyi-Otu Livres

The book comprises five interconnected essays that explore the relationship between specific geographical contexts, particularly the African world, and broader universal principles. Ato Sekyi-Otu argues that focusing on particular places can coexist harmoniously with universalist ideas, offering a nuanced perspective on identity and global interconnectedness. Through this lens, the essays delve into themes of culture, philosophy, and social commitment, highlighting the importance of local contexts in shaping universal narratives.

Offers close readings of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit, and of responses to it in the work of twentieth-century philosophers, that highlight the entangled history of the translations, transpositions and transformations of Hegel in the work of Frantz Fanon, and more generally in colonial, postcolonial and decolonial contexts.
