Why Identity Is Central to the Metaphysical Empire Debate
摘要
In the penultimate chapter, I said that as African philosophers who are experts on identity, Kolawole Owolabi (1999)‘s and Ademola Kazeem Fayemi (2011)‘s views on the problem of identity in African philosophy are insightful. Remember that according to Owolabi (1999), ‘a prominent issue that has dominated the enterprise of African philosophy since its inception in the written form is the question of how to define African identity’ (p. 22). And according to Fayemi (2011), ‘most intellectual discussions in African philosophy are reactions to this problem of identity’ (p. 259).
