Intellectual Warfare

A scholarly work several years in the making, Intellectual Warfare testifies that the foundation of modern Western thought, theory, and practice can be traced back to ancient African thought, theory, and practice. Dr. Carruthers exposes the African influence on Greek and Roman thought and its influence on the development of modern Western society, then establishes the urgency to defend and honour the role of Ancient African civilisations on this major event. In the pages of Intellectual Warfare , Dr. Carruthers exposes fallacies and re-establishes new and undistorted ways of viewing the formation of Western society and how classic literature shaped the contemporary world in intricate and sometimes startlingly and brutally honest and uncompromising detail. He is not satisfied with simply challenging the reader to think about things differently, but goes further citing specific examples and offering instruction on how to begin to retrain oneself to think about the origins of modern society in other terms. The esteemed scholar and defender of African centred thought is ever vigilant and provocative in the pages of this text. He separates this latest work from other such critical efforts by expanding the text with instruction for implementing new ways of looking at the educational curriculum to ensure the challenge to improve education can be taken up by future generations. He offers insight into how to incorporate the re-examination of classical African literature in the education system.
