| Abstract | Despite errors of identity and fallacies as well as misconceptions about Africa, African philosophical tradition that I - call "Theistic humanism" can be described as "Afraa" just in the fashion of Darshana, Confucianism, Taoism etc. This is the philosophical import of religious world views, folklores, proverbs and myths and symbols of the Africans. African philosophy is a philosophy of culture on the myths, symbols, rituals and the world views of the African. Theistic humanism is a philosophical doctrine designating African ideas of man, universe and God. (edited) |
