This conversation is with Bruce Janz, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida, where he also co-directs the Center for Humanities and Digital Research. In addition to dozens of articles, he is the editor of a special journal issue with History of Intellectual Culture on space and interdisciplinarity and a volume with Springer titled Place, Space, and HermeneuticsWith Shaun Gallagher, Lauren Reinerman, Patsy Morrow, and Jorg Trempler, he co-authored A Neurophenomenology of Awe and Wonder: Toward a Non-Reductive Cognitive Sciencepublished in 2015 with Palgrave-MacMillan. Janz is the single author of two books on African philosophy: Philosophy in an African Place, published by Lexington Books in 2009, and a book just out with Bloomsbury Publishing entitled African Philosophy and Enactivist Cognition: The Space of Thought, which is the occasion for our conversation today. In this conversation, we examine the meaning of “Africa” and “philosophy,” what the conjoining of both terms means for wisdom, politics, culture, and tradition, and how thinking, in that conjunction, is linked to conceptions of place.
