Taking our problems seriously
Alors que nous commémorons et célébrons la vie de Paulin Hountondji, un pionnier et l'un des précurseurs de la philosophie africaine contemporaine, il est important de se souvenir du carrefour où lui et ses pairs ont fait leur entrée sur la scène de la philosophie dans la sphère universitaire. Il a mené la croisade pour sauver l'Afrique du ridicule qui, à travers ce qu'il a appelé, selon sa célèbre formule, « l'ethnophilosophie », réduisait les c…

Diversity in Philosophy
In his keynote address to the Democratic National Convention in 2004, then-senator Barack Obama referred to his relatively fast rise in American politics as an “unlikely story,” yet one that could happen only in America. The remark was understood to refer, among other things, to America’s fi embrace and recognition that a black man could play a key role in helping defi ne and highlight a political course for a white presidential candidate.

Les défis de la modernité
Reason and Culture
Recently I listened to an interesting dinner-table debate between my teenage children about an issue that, to my mind, clearly raised questions closely related to the theme of encounter of rationalities. In a conversation about indigenous Kenyan hairstyles, my son had wanted to know why the Maasai 'made' their women folk shave their heads bald while young men stylishly braided their hair into what has become a popular and fashionable African hair…

Philosophy and Indigenous Knowledge
Rooted in the 1940s, the debate on African ethnophilosophy foreshadowed and preempted what was to become a global debate, whose tenets have now brought the natural and social sciences close together.

Critical Rationalism and Cultural Traditions in African Philosophy
The university has been a potent and revolutionary machine in the recent history of African culture. Throughout the continent, the university has milled the ingredients of change in African societies. These ingredients, the intellectuals, technocrats, and their knowledge, became the agents for reshaping the structures and images of their respective indigenous communities in ways that eventually led to debates on the meaning and nature of history.…
