The African is denied a will, freedom, knowledge, rational powers, etc. Yet, man is ?by nature a thinking being endowed by nature itself with this unique faculty which he makes use of in his everyday experience, in organizing and interpreting the experience.?

Acknowledged African scholars, inspite of the disagreement amongst have now accepted that there is a philosophy which is peculiarly African in character, and function. As a philo-sophia, it is a quest for African wisdom. African Philosophy: An Introduction is ?the reflective and systematic investigation into the fundamental questions that confront the African such as the nature of the universe, humanity, the self, the community, etc.
