Question

What are African modes of thinking?

Answer 1

Current African modes of thinking are ethnic-philosophy, philosophic sagacity, nationalist/ideological philosophy, and professional philosophy. Contemporary African philosophers have established a general structure of religions other than Christianity and Islam and based on the following elements: a supreme being or force who created the world, which depends on him for its continuous existence; divinities or spirits or forces that are active in the world. African traditional philosophies are multiple bodies of living comprehensive knowledge which encapsulate holistic ways of knowing. As such, they are social constructs that enable members of a community to think in and through specific cultural norms wherever they are raised.
