Akan philosophy is a form of African philosophy in the conceptual system of Akan people, a meta-ethnic group native to West Africa. [1] In contemporary work, Akan philosophy has been most influential in metaphysical and ethical discussion of the concept of personhood. [1] In common with other strands of African philosophy, Akan philosophers such as Kwasi Wiredu have developed the view that personhood exists in degrees such that "personhood is something for a human to become to different degrees through individual achievement".
