OPTION A:
Towards the end of his seminal essay: The Struggle for Reason in Africa, Ramose (2002) makes the assertion that “To
deny the existence of African philosophy is also to reject the very idea of philosophy.”
Discuss this claim in reference to the arguments that he provides in regard to the “history of rationality” in Africa.
OPTION B:
The various trends in African philosophy speak to a complex and dynamic history of the discipline. One way in which
to classify philosophy in Africa is by language. Write an essay in which you compare Anglophone (English) and
Francophone (French) philosophy.
Guidelines:
a) Your paper needs to examine the influences which lead to the trend and how it had impacted their style of writing
African philosophy.
b) Do you think language is very important for African philosophy?
c) Examine their (Anglophone and Francophone) strengths and weakness and explain which classification you agree
with the most.
