The Hermeneutical Paradigm in African Philosophy
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The aim of this reflection is a diachronic analysis and an appreciation of the hermeneutical paradigm in African philosophy. This paradigm raises the problem of the relationship between culture and philosophy and subsequently, the problem of the relationship between universality and particularity. In fact, it seems evident that if philosophy is not a cultural product, it is nevertheless a critical reflection which always manifests in its contents a specific cultural and historical experience. Thus, African philosophy necessarily evolves within African cultures. Therefore, universality and particularity are necessarily connected in the sense that culture manifests human potentialities. If African cultures must be the starting point of African philosophy, African philosophers must not forget to engage critically with culture; and that, definitely, it is our historical context that determines the appreciation of both our culture and others’.
