In the author's view, much of the thinking of black intellectuals has been narrowly focused. Here, he looks at the (often political) factors which have caused this Afrocentric approach, and warns against its continuation. Championing independence of thought over the tradition-bound communalism of African culture, Sono pleads for a new age of reason in which social and natural sciences are investigated with fresh minds.
