Introduction
What are the themes that should be considered as ‘African philosophy’? The question here is, is there an ‘African philosophy’ and how does an African know what he claims to know? What are the basic assumptions that guide his knowledge of what he claims to know? Thus, we should not ask such question as, does the African philosophy question exist? And once you concede that philosophy deals with criticism of existing order, you invariably come to self-contradiction that there is no African philosophy as some tend to argue. In so far as Africans make value judgment, a criticism is involved.
