Sanya Osha Investigates <i>Dani Nabudere’s Afrikology</i>

Abstract Lansana Keita was a well-regarded Sierra Leonean philosopher who passed on recently. His contemporaries include Kwasi Wiredu from Ghana, Paulin J. Hountondj from Benin, and his good friend and colleague Abiola Irele from Nigeria. All these illustrious African philosophical figures and scholars have since passed on, and Keita joins their ranks as an ancestor. Arguably, although he is probably the least well known of them outside African philosophical circles, he pursued, and probably committed to paper, the most radical ideas of the lot. In terms of vision, consistency, and boldness, his thought emphasized the primacy of Kemetian philosophical traditions and civilization to human culture. This article explores Keita’s thoughts on Sanya Osha’s “Dani Nabudere’s Afrikology: A Quest for African Holism.”
