TEMPORARY LOCATION AND SEARCH BOX: Please note: after having been inaccessible for some time, we have now reinstated the website of Quest: An African Journal of Philosophy / Revue Africaine de Philosophie, in the present, temporary URL. Soon we hope to return to the  usual site, with URL http://www.quest-journal.net. The search facility offered below in the blue-green box, belongs to the original location, and does not function at this temporary location. Instead, use the transparent/yellow search box which now follows immediately -- it will allow you to make a detailed search for authors, titles, topics, proper names, philosophical concepts etc. throughout the two decades of Quest's existence:

In January 2006, we completed the first phase of the retrodigitalisation of Quest volumes. This means that all volumes ever published (I-XIX) are now integrally available on the web! Our special thanks go to the Library and Documentation of the African Studies Centre, Leiden, Netherlands, for technical and financial assistance in this major achievement. Currently, we are still working on detailed Tables of Contents allowing for clickable links to separate articles, for the volumes I to XII (1987-1998). Please realise that the PDFs for entire issues or volumes may very large, i.e. 2 to 40 Mb. Therefore, rather than trying to read online, first download such a file onto your own computer, using the ´Save Target As...´ facility under the righthand mouse button
