L'Affirmation de la Philosophie Africaine

Abstract

The article addresses Africa's ongoing struggles with underdevelopment, poverty and political instability, analysing the historical roots and contemporary manifestations of these challenges. It critiques the legacies of colonialism and Western imperialism, balkanisation and post-colonial governance issues that have perpetuated African conflicts. The study examines African intellectual responses and advocates a philosophical renaissance rooted in indigenous thought and spirituality as a path to emancipation. It argues that an embrace of African philosophy, spirituality and unity can be a catalyst for the continent's renewal and progress.
