This article builds on Chancellor Williams' 'new approach' in the study of African history to analyze Black philosophical condition through different movements of Black thought in the form of birth, death, rebirth, and internal and external enemy. It argues that Blacks created the earliest age-intelligence system of thought in the pre-colony; that European conquests of Black sites through slavery, colonization, and neo-colonialism reshaped Black philosophical condition along the lines of irrationality, servitude, absence, and negation; and that contemporary Black philosophical condition is marked by enmity. Thus, this study engages with significant accomplishments of Black thought from pre-colony to post-colony, the philosophers' war against Blacks, Black revolutionary ideologies, as well as Black enemy and the enemy of the Black. It concludes by highlighting the need for current and future philosophers to reposition African system of thought in age-intelligence philosophy.
