Abstract

I recognise that the state of African philosophy is today more promising than ever. This notwithstanding, African philosophy has to contend still with some difficulties traceable to remnants of the spirit of the Great Debate: There is still the tendency to model African philosophy after soliloquy where, one speaks one’s thoughts aloud by oneself, at best only within a closed circle of friends and admirers short of speaking to a wider global audience. As a problem that is noetic in character, I seek to address it by an understanding that articulates method as ikwa ogwe within a complementary comprehensive systematic framework.
