Moral and Political Philosophy in the Early Asante Empire

This lecture took place on Tuesday 25 January 2022 at 2pm (New York), 7pm (London), 8pm (Lagos)

This public lecture is supporting the course, The Making of Modern Africa as part of the Foundation Certificate in African History


In the 18th and 19th centuries, the Asante Empire would become one of the most formidable in the world, stretching its administration across the area we know as modern day Ghana while stretching its cultural influence even further across the peninsula and into the Americas. 

In this lecture and conversation we will explore the reigns of the early Asante monarchs through the writings of the great Ghanaian historian, Carl Christian Reindorf, to discover the key principles of Asante moral and political philosophy. 

What does it mean to be a good monarch? What responsibility do leaders have to develop the material and cultural wealth of the nation? How does a monarch rule effectively and justly? These are just some of the ideas we will explore in our saunter through early Asante political history. 

Lecturer: Apeike Umolu
