​I am philosopher who primarily specializes in moral philosophy, African philosophy, and the philosophy of religion. My current research is often located at the intersection of the African and Anglo-American philosophical traditions and tends to address axiological or ethical questions.

​

I have recently published my fifth monograph, A Relational Theory of the Atonement: African Contributions to Western Philosophical Theology (Routledge 2024).

 

My sixth monograph, African Philosophy of Religion and Western Monotheism (with Motsamai Molefe and Thaddeus Metz) is also out Cambridge University Press.

 

My next monograph project, A Moral Theory of Liveliness: A Secular Interpretation of African Life Force is forthcoming with Oxford University Press.
