, Option A
In “African historical reconstruction” Osuagwu identified four factors which he
argues characterize and explain the nature of African Philosophy. Critically analyze
these factors in light of the discourses on Africa and discuss whether or not they
characterize African Philosophy in contemporary Africa.
Guidelines:
Discuss these factors in detail, their limitations, and strengths.
Discuss whether these factors are relevant in contemporary Africa.
Do these factors make an African Philosophy, if so, how, if not, why not?
Option B
In “Ethics and Morality in Yoruba Culture” (2004) Bewaji argues that “the basis of
morality in Africa is human welfare, and not to earn reward from some divine or
metaphysical being”. Critically discuss this argument and determine whether or
not it is plausible. Do you agree with the argument? If not, why not, if you agree
why do you agree?
Guidelines:
Discuss what is morality and ethics according to Bewaji
Discuss whether Bewaji’s argument about the basis of morality is plausible or not
Is Bewaji’s argument about morality still relevant and applicable to contemporary
Africa and politics?
