Kritik
"Franziska Dübgen and Stefan Skupien have written a much needed overview of Paulin Hountondji's work. ... Readers who are interested in African philosophy, the sociology of scientific knowledge, African Marxism and dependency theory will find much of interest in Paulin Hountondji." (Zeyad el Nabolsy, Marx and Philosophy, marxandphilosophy.org.uk, June 14, 2020)
"Through quite remarkable scholarship, Dubgen and Skupien manage to piece together engraved patterns of logic, coherence and conceptual intrigue in Hountondji's eventful life and career, which have been marked by meteoric peaks and bouts of furious activity. The book's other major strength is that it provides a sequential context that is not always evident in the pace and texture of Hountondji's often inspirational and faintly apocalyptic writings." (Sanya Osha, The Johannesburg Review of Books, October 07, 2019)mehr
