Abstract

What can African sources teach philosophers and related thinkers around the world? In some real ways, typical Western philosophers and African advocates of decolonization have failed to appreciate that there is probably a lot that non-Africans could learn from Africa. In this essay, I make the case that neither camp has given African intellectual sources their due, after which I sketch what that would plausibly involve.
