'''''Intellectual history''''' refers to the [[history]] of the people who create, discuss, write about and in other ways propagate [[idea]]s. Although the field emerged from European discourses of [[Kulturgeschichte]] and [[Geistesgeschichte]], the historical study of ideas has engaged not only western intellectual traditions, including, but not limited to, those in the [[far east]], [[near east]], [[mid-east]] and [[Africa]].

With the rise of [[Afrocentrism]], a recently developed [[academic]], [[philosophy|philosophical]], and [[history|historical]] approach to the study of world history, the push away from [[Eurocentrism]] has led to the focus on the contributions of [[African people]] and their model of world civilization and [[history]]. Afrocentrism aims to shift the focus from a perceived European-centered history to an [[African]]-centered history. More broadly, Afrocentrism is concerned with distinguishing the influence of [[European]] and [[Oriental]] peoples from African achievements.
