THE QUEST FOR RE-GROUNDING AFRICAN PHILOSOPHY BETWEEN THE TWO CAMPS

In my opinion, objective ground of philosophy is of no particular person, group or race, but rather of everybody who practices it. Thus, philosophy is a soul searching endeavor, i.e activity to be done rationally, critically and systematically So as to preserve humanity without exception and selection. Humanity is, therefore, inseparable from its Which scents may help us to identify where various overlap segments of humanity. Philosophy, in this sense, is an activity done in Accordance with the core and essential realities of human life. Hence, I equally believe (perhaps like others do) that philosophy does not lie in Africans' black skin or Europeans white skin. Humanity is our intrinsic value. It has no color except reason Which makes it colorful. And hence, the only color of humanity (Human essence) is reason (Author, p.61).
