Exploring the core questions of African science
The question of African science interrogates the possibility of devising an African- oriented methodology for scientific theorising. Apologias of African science propose at least three evidential rationales in defence of a scientific method claimed to be African – namely, (i) utility, (ii) uniqueness and (iii) secrecy. These three justifications enact theories of African science according to the article’s proposal of three major methodological pe…
The Hidden Relativism Within Epistemological Universalism and the Prospect for Epistemic Diversity in Decoloniality
One of the main epistemic norms of mainstream epistemology revolves around how to reject epistemic relativism and embrace universalism. The argument has frequently been that different epistemological perspectives are incompatible and hence breed protracted disagreement. Being incompatible means that one cannot judge which of these incompatible epistemic viewpoints are valid. To mitigate this obstacle, it is argued that epistemic relativism should…
Reforming Pan-Africanism
The paper examines the concept of Pan-Africanism through the lens of intellectual decoloniality to address recent tensions motivating identity politics within the Pan-African framework. Recently, the Pan-African interpretation of identity politics has led to two significant strands that create tension: the Afrocentrist promotion of complete self-determination and the Afropolitan advocacy for multiculturalism and inclusivity. There is potential fo…
Rethinking AI ethics through an Akan ontology
Virtue Ethics as a Model for Addressing Moral Decline in Ghana
Every culture espouses distinct moral values systems which serve as the blueprints guiding behaviours of members of a society. Ghana as a country has a rich moral value system that shapes its citizens’ worldviews and informs the way they relate with other human beings. A reflection on, past moral values of Ghanaian societies, however, reveals a moral deficit. This situation throws up the following crucial questions. What is the future of Ghanaian…
A Critique of Wiredu’s Project of Conceptual Decolonization of African Philosophy
To liberate African philosophy from the remnants of the colonial style of thought, Kwesi Wiredu promotes the idea of the conceptual decolonization of African philosophy. He argues that, to accomplish this project, African philosophers must theorize in African vernaculars. This article attempts to show that the project of the conceptual decolonization of African philosophy by recourse to theorizing in African vernaculars is challenging. It examine…
A philosophical appraisal of Nyamnjoh’s social theory and Whitehead’s process ontology in the context of epistemic decoloniality
This essay examines the philosophical underpinnings of Nyamnjoh's social theory of incompleteness and conviviality and Whitehead's process ontology in the context of intellectual decoloniality. The theory of incompleteness and convivial scholarship is spearheaded by Francis Nyamnjoh as a strategy for intellectual decoloniality and a substitute for the rigid alternatives prevalent in the decoloniality clamour in Africa. This idea also finds expres…
Rawls’ Reflective Equilibrium as a Method of Justifying Moral Beliefs
Putting African Communitarian Values to the Test during a Pandemic
Some African scholars have challenged the idea that African societies are still communitarian largely due to urbanisation and cosmopolitanism. Using Ghana as a case study, this essay aims to address this protest by analysing the speeches of the president of Ghana and some of the attitudes and behaviours of Ghanaians during the lockdown days of the COVID 19 pandemic in Ghana to test African communitarian status. The essay deploys the ideological a…
Wiredu and Eze on consensual democracy and the question of consensual rationality
The essay raises objections to Emmanuel Chukwudi Eze’s criticisms of Kwasi Wiredu’s notion of consensual rationality. Wiredu promotes traditional African consensual democracy as an alternative political system to the Western majoritarian model of democracy, which he claims is adversarial. However, Eze raises some queries against Wiredu which seem to undermine the validity of Wiredu’s traditional model of consensual democracy. Foremost among these…
