As its primary task, \u003ci\u003eThe Split Time\u003c\/i\u003e constructs an economic philosophy from a tradition of thought that is indigenous to Africa, arguing that there are long-neglected resources within African philosophy to guide economic policymakers toward creating an African economy that can sustain human flourishing. Exploring notions of destiny, temporality, and desire, Nimi Wariboko constructs an economic-philosophical framework to rethink solutions to the vexing problem of economic development in Africa. He also provides a robust social-ethical perspective in which the basic aspects of economic life-the \u003ci\u003eagential\u003c\/i\u003e (accounts of human agency, telos), the \u003ci\u003ecircumstantial\u003c\/i\u003e (material\/social context), and the \u003ci\u003eaffective\u003c\/i\u003e (to feel appropriately what matters to a people in an economy or their desire for human flourishing)-come together to fire social imagination about development policies for the common good.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNimi Wariboko \u003c\/b\u003eis Walter G.
