We are delighted to share that Louise Müller has recently published two new books:
- Beauty in African Thought: Critical Perspectives on the Western Idea of Development
- Well-Being in African Philosophy: Insights for a Global Ethics of Development
Both works offer profound insights into African philosophy, challenging Western perspectives on beauty, well-being, and development. Müller explores how African thought contributes to global debates on ethics, aesthetics, and social progress.
