(1987) African philosophy, Dordrecht, Springer.
The African philosopher is a ground breaker; He plunges straight into African life as seen in its myths, its beliefs, its rites and in its everyday language. He uses the studies of sociologists and ethnographers; but how accurately defined are his own procedures? Interpretation of myths and rites poses a difficult problem of hermeneutics; how shall the African philosopher show that his interpretation is valid?1
