Sangoma Science

Black Thought Matters. This is the cult book for the 2020s! Starting out as a poet the author became an anthropologist of African religion then an adopted African prince then a practising African diviner / healer (sangoma) then a professor of intercultural philosophy. The book testifies to the unique knowledge authority and wisdom thus accumulated. In a passionate and deeply personal way the author traces his steps over half a century and across most continents; critically discusses theory method and tacit presuppositions of religious anthropology and of the philosophy of science; shows how close the African life world is to the New Physics; and presents an ontology according to which reality constantly oscillates between Being and Non-Being. Thus this book accounts for religion God evolution thought time the paranormal the world-creating nature of science and the time-warping / event-creating potential of divination. The argument is set against the background of the integrated long-range perspective on global cultural history which the writer has helped develop over the past decades.
