Note to Contributors:

General Information: Filosofia Theoretica Journal of African Philosophy, Culture and Religions is dedicated to the promotion of conversational orientation and publication of astute academic research in African Philosophy and Thought. The articles submitted to Filosofia Theoretica must be presented in defensive and conversational style. The journal has a vision to put Africa and African intellectuals on the global map. However, this does not imply that non-Africans cannot submit articles for consideration insofar as the title falls within the focus of the journal. All manuscripts must be original (hence, not under consideration anywhere) and submitted to the editor in MS word format via the submission link or e-mail: filosofiatheoretica@gmail.com. The entire work can range from 2000 to 6000 words maximum excluding citations with a concise title and a 150-200 word abstract. Authors are not to place page numbers or paper title (on each page) on the manuscript; we no longer accept endnotes but footnotes may be used in the CSP Style Guide. Articles (or parts of articles) in languages other than English will no longer be considered. All submissions must list the author’s current affiliation and contact points (location, e-mail address, ORCID etc. in a separate title page). In regards to style the Conversational School of Philosophy Documentation Style which is downloadable from the journal’s site is the only acceptable reference style. Camera ready manuscripts will receive first preference in the publishing cycle. Any manuscript not well proof-read will not be considered for review. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed and those considered acceptable by the editors will be published after recommended corrections.
