The Perceived Paradox of Cultural Dependability and Intellectual Freedom

The notion of ethnophilosophy does not give a guarantee for “contradictions in a culture.” This argument gets its foundation from the belief that ethnophilosophy could either reconcile in a rational way those “contradictions in constants of culture” or convince the contenders that the internal incoherencies are only ill-conceived or do not actually exist. Though there might be contradictions in a culture as in any other totalities of human life, it would not jeopardize the rationale of ethnophilosophy. A though of a person is highly dependent on her/his own mother tongue, social, and natural environment, and cultural beliefs and practices of her/his ancestors. Hence, there would be no thought, without a thinking subject. There are both particulars and universals in every culture. But no culture is in apposition to determine what should be the particular and what should be the universal.
