Sankore University Logic

Sankore University Logic explores the pivotal role of Sankore University in medieval Timbuktu as a vibrant center for intellectual discourse and preservation of knowledge. The book investigates the university's sophisticated curriculum, with a focus on logic, and its lasting influence on West Africa and the broader Islamic world.

Sankore's curriculum wasn't just theoretical; logic was applied practically in legal judgments and trade dispute resolutions. This book challenges conventional views by highlighting the significant contributions of African scholars to intellectual history, specifically in the field of logic.

The book delves into the administrative and social dynamics that fostered Sankore's unique academic environment. It examines the university's contribution to intellectual debates and the spread of knowledge beyond Timbuktu, emphasizing its role as a melting pot of cultures and ideas.

The book progresses by first establishing the historical context, then exploring the curriculum with a focus on logic, and finally examining Sankore's lasting impact on global scholarship. By understanding Sankore, we gain insight into the flourishing trade networks that connected West Africa to other parts of the world during the Islamic Golden Age.
