Inter-Cultural Ideas and Pattern of Exclusivity in History of Philosophy

Abstract

The history of philosophy revealed that the corpus of works referred to as philosophy was the collection of literature by European authors, with also the understanding that philosophy emerged from Europe, with particular reference to Greece. This has formed an unsatisfied and unclear expression of philosophical history. Nevertheless, this work has provided a clear understanding that philosophy began in Africa, particularly in Egypt (Kemet) as it evidenced that most of the ancient Greek scholars studied in Africa and taped African knowledge before envisaging into European philosophical thought. So, the African philosophical thought is a shrine of knowledge which is primordially existed and have trained the best European philosophical brains that propagate the claim that knowledge began in Europe. This work has emphatically cleared any bourgeois argument that presented Africans as second class citizens of thought and knowledge.
