| Abstract: | The African concept of a person goes beyond the mind-body dualism. As the Yoruba, Akan and Igbo cultures of West Africa illustrate, a person is viewed in a holistic manner. The concept of a person is based on a combination of metaphysical, physical and social factors. Ref. [ASC Leiden abstract] |
