Groupe JOGOO
African
Philosophy
Debates & Questions
A project of reflection on philosophical thought as a whole, seeking to situate its stakes in relation to Black thought, by Africans as much as by non-Africans, on the problems and problematics of the human. The rooster, animal of dawn: the one that wakes us, the one that sets us to work.
Entrance slide · Manifesto
African philosophy(ies)? Philosophy in Africa? Philosophy?
What does African philosophy consist of? Would it be scandalous to say “nothing in particular”? Perhaps, unless we add “specific” or “different” in form, though undoubtedly not in content.
