African art as philosophy Senghor, Bergson, and the idea of negritude - New York Seagull Books 2011 - vii, 210 p. ; 21 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 201-210).
Lǒpold Sďar Senghor (1906?2001) was a Senegalese poet and philosopher who in 1960 also became the first president of the Republic of Senegal. In African Art as Philosophy, Souleymane Bachir Diagne takes a unique approach to reading Senghor?s influential works, taking as the starting point for his analysis Henri Bergson?s idea that in order to understand philosophers one must find the initial intuition from which every aspect of their work develops. In the case of Senghor, Diagne argues that his primordial intuition is that African art is a philosophy.
